Solranous, who after his most recent training attempt, had appeared in Soul Society, remembering about someone here in his first visit. Now to find him...
...
...
...
There, that was the reiatsu he felt that was going to challange him. He used his telepathy to enter the person's, Zaraki Kenpachi's, mind.
"Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, I come here seeking you out. And I challenge you to a fight. You'll know who I am, for I am the green dragon with three tails, standing ten feet tall. It's impossible to miss me. I await your appearence if you accept my challenge." the dragon said, then waited Kizoku's hilt out and in his claws, so he could ignite it if Zaraki did indeed appear.

"And what makes you think you can take me?" A deep voice from behind the dragon asked.
The area was suddenly so bogged down with reiatsu that Solranous found it hard to breath as the dragon turned, seeing a tall, broad, heavily muscled man with spiky black hair and an eyepatch across on eye. He bore a scowl across his face, and a large Zanpoktou weighing on his right shoulder. He wore the garb of a Shinigami captain, with the Japanese kanji for 11 on the captain's coat.
This man was none other than Zaraki Kenpachi, captain of Soul Society's best fighting squad.
He scowled up at the dragon, yet it felt as if the big man was looking down at Solranous.
"Hey, yer that substitute Shinigami the midget enlisted, ain't ya?" He asked, suddenly breaking out into a wide, sharp-toothed grin.
A pink-haired young girl in Shinigami robes suddenly popped up on Zaraki's shoulder and exclaimed,
"It is the dragon-man! Kinda freaky-lookin', too."
Zaraki's grin grew, and his fingers drummed on the handle of his sword. The pink-haired little girl hopped off of his shoulder and ran off, yelling,
"I'll tell 'em it was a training session gone bad, kay Kenchi?!"
She dissapeared from sight, and Zaraki's blade suddenly carved a large gash in Solranous's front.
"Yer kinda dim if ya challenged me to a fight. But hey, I'm not complanin'. Ya look like ya might be a good challenge." He stated, a sadistic, homicidal grin on his face.

Kizoku's blade ignited, and Solranous grinned right back, despite being weighed down by the captain's reiatsu.
"Training session gone bad? My, the little girl must be able to predict how a fight can go. I'm not even going to try fighting you in the unreleased state. So....
Shounetsujigoku Shousen Asahi."
Kizoku altered to the Shikai state and Solranous let his reiatsu flow completely, allowing him to breathe easier. Without warning, the dragon threw his zanpoktou, losing heat for seemingly no reason.
The blade cut into Zaraki's waist, letting trickles of blood out, though not much.
"But just because I'm only fourth seat after admittance to 10th squad, doesn't mean I can't cut you." Solranous finished, pulling the blade back by its chain and assuming a defensive stance in which all fronts were protected by his four blades, leaving few, if any openings.

Zaraki only laughed out loud before charging forward and slamming his sword downwards into Solranous's, creating an imprint of the dragon's feet in the ground from the sheer force. He then slammed the blade down harder repeatedly, driving the dragon backwards and downwards.
"So ya can cut me, eh? Ya think ya can win then?!" He asked, still grinning derrangedly.
He swept the blade to the side, sending Solranous flying into the wall. The captain lunged forward and shoved the blade into Solranous's shoulder, releasing a spray of blood. Zaraki laughed again as he ripped the blade out and spun around, the tip scraping across the concrete and slicing open a small gash on the dragon's muzzle. He grabbed Solranous by the throat and threw the dragon backwards with ease before jumping high into the air, bringing the blade crashing through the dragon's chest...
And barely missing the heart.
"I guess you haven't figured that out yet: If ya die in here, or in Heaven at all, yer gone. PERMANANTLY. You shoulda known that before challenging me. But hey, you're lasting, so this might be worthwhile."
He ripped the blade out and kicked the dragon, sending him skidding against the wall as his reiatsu slowly took form around him, an aura of golden spiritual force.

"I'm not worried about that, with some one whose will to live is as strong as mine, you can liken me to a cockroach, not much can put me down...
And keep me down." Solranous said, getting back to his feet.
"But here I thought I could at least last a while before using this... Oh well... Looks like my only choice is Bankai.
Moetatsu Shimensoka inai Gouka."
The dragon altered into the Bankai state, which made his reiatsu flare up even more, becoming a neon blue aura like Zaraki's golden aura...
Also... his wounds were healing rapidly.
"Ah, the perks of one's mind developing enough to affect matter with thought. I can heal most of my wounds rather easily with this little thing called 'telekinesis.'"
Solranous smirked, and charged at Zaraki, launching Spirit Rockets at the captain. Unexpecting of this, Zaraki was hit head on, but the most he suffered was an extremely minor burn...
But it wasn't meant to do any real damage, just give Solranous some cover as he closed in. The dragon swung, carving a much larger gash into Zaraki's left shoulder, before he brought the shield's sharp edge across Zaraki's chest, criss-crossing with the previous wound. Raising his sword high, he swung down, only for Zaraki to block it.
The two blade locked for a short while, before Solranous pulled his zanpoktou off and pushed Zaraki's away with his shield as he stabbed Kizoku through the captain's waist, and Solranous twisted it so he could rip it out through Zaraki's side. The sword's shape destabilized ans reassembled over Solranous' fist as he uppercutted Zaraki, making him take a step back, though none of this made the 11th Division captain lose his grin.
Solranous punch Zaraki's wounded gut hard, making the captain slide back as his shield came around to prepare for counter attack.
"I never said that just because I can cut you I would win, I merely observed that I could cut you. The way I see it, my being able to cut you gives me some favor in this battle. And your not the first person I faced who had more reiatsu then I did."

Zaraki scowled.
"Yeah, the midget mentioned something about some demon-cockroach thing."
He brought the blade crashed downwards, the wind itself whistling as the blade crashed into his shield, creating a gash in the metal. He slammed it down again until the shield was severely damaged, then Zaraki shoved his Zanpoktou through the shield, into Solranous's thigh. He twisted it before ripping the blade out, nearly tearing the shield in half as he whipped around and slashed the dragon across the front of the neck, spitting out more blood onto the derranged captain.
"You talk too much." He stated.
He brought the blade down diagonally, carving another gash down the dragon's front before Zaraki grabbed Kizoku by the blade, ignoring the fire and sharp metal as he jerked the blade, causing Solranous to step closer, which is just what the fighter wanted. He drove his knee into Solranous' gut before bashing his skull into the dragon's, causing Solranous to become woozy. Zaraki jumped up and kicked the emerald dragon in the face before landing a few feet in front of the dragon.
The captain was bleeding from numerous wounds, yet he was barely breaking a sweat.
"Is this all there is to a Bankai? Geez, I've beaten two captains at once, and both of 'em were using their 'Bankai'. They really are pointless." He muttered.
"Now, ya gonna show me a good fight, or am I gonna have ta kill ya without any fun?!" He barked, his reiatsu flaring.
((If he reaches for the eyepatch, you're SCREWED.))

(OOC: I know, that eyepatch was developed to cosume spirit force constantly, taking it off will allow Zaraki to go full power... Why do I get the feeling your going to do that? FYI, there is no metal in the sword or shield, just fire which happens to be solid enough to work like metal.)
"I'll show you a good fight, for I have only begun to fight." Solranous growled, coming back to his senses. The dragon's arm came up, pointing directly at Zaraki...
And before anybody could blink, around thirty 'fire serpents' had impaled the deranged captain front to back, though they only came close to vital organs and didn't actually puncture them. Blood gushed out as Solranous pulled the serpents back, which were attached to his arm, but kept them formed.
"A little something I acquired after some training. Blunt attacks do not deter them, Sword wounds will not sever them, no matter how many times you try, Reiatsu based attacks will only increase their potential and raise my power. These reiatsu serpents were developed as a nod to my Shikai state, in the way that they can drain parts of an opponent's reiatsu, and even flash step users will be given a run for their money by these things... well, only the less experienced ones that is." Solranous smirked despite his wounds.
"And I've been told before that I talk to much. It's a habit of mine that I've yet to break. I'm just used to opponents trash talking me so I usually like coming up with witty retorts. But enough of my boring ranting." The dragon disappeared with Flash step and kicked Zaraki up like he had done when sparring against Hitsugaya for the Bankai. Using Flash Step, he chained together at least twenty kicks and sword slashes on the 11th division captain, before dealing a hammer punch on the final hit, sending Kenpachi down to the ground, his face bruised and bloody from the chain.
"Star Burst Flare!" the dragon called, launching five consecutive beams of reiatsu at the downed captain and hovering above him, figuring he would jump up to counter attack.

((Ohz. I see. And yes, that wil happen... sooner than ya think...))
Out of the rubble, the derranged captain began laughing maniacally. He stood up, blood staining his once-white uniform as he let his Zanpoktou touch the ground, his grin somehow wider still.
"Yes... it seems... I can go all-out with you... I knew you'd be good..."
He leaned his head back all the way before reaching for his eyepatch, slightly shaking from excitement.
"But the fact ya need ta use projectiles while fightin' is kinda... depressin'." He muttered, then shrugged.
His grin returned, and he ripped the eyepatch off, revealing small eyes and mouths on the underside of the covering. He threw it to the side as his reiatsu began to flare massivly before exploding outwards in a massive display of power. The reiatsu caused the nearest building to shudder and collapse as Zaraki raised his Zanpoktou, laughing. He swiped the sword to the side, and a few seconds later, the building nearest to his blade split in half, the halves collapsing.
"See, the problem with me is that I can't enjoy fightning much anymore. I'm too strong. My opponent usually dies within the first few seconds, so I had the Research and Development Department make that critter to continuously eat my reiatsu, so I could fight at a level closer to my opponent's. But it seems you've forced me to push myself, and that, I gotta thank ya for." He stated, still grinning.
He was gone, and Solranous's left arm fell off of it's shoulder in a spray of blood. Zaraki's reiatsu completely outmatched Solranous's in size, somewhere around 3-to-1 in comparison. The captain grabbed Solranous by the tails, his reiatsu still outputting (as it would as long as the eyepatch was gone), and he hurled the dragon back to the ground before rocketing after him, slamming his fist into the dragon's maw and snapping cartilidge. Zaraki then began rapidly stabbing Solranous, the blade going completely through the emerald entity before zaraki pulled it out and kicked Solranous back into the air, slamming his hilt into the dragon's stomach before landing on a nearby roof, which cracked under his reiatsu's pressure.

And yet, with all this damage, Solranous got back up like it was almost nothing to him. He shook stars from his head before he focused on Zaraki...
And something new happened...
Solranous' reiatsu grew, slowly, but fast enough to be noticable. He grinned at the deranged captain, who was probably enjoying the fact that Solranous was becoming stronger yet again.
"Eh, the projectiles are another habit of mine, I'm used to my enemies throwing them at me. And it seems, the stronger my opponent, the more powerful I become."
'Solranous, your wounds! They're... They're beyond my ability to stall the bleeding!' Kizoku warned, frantic
"You don't have to."
Solranous grunted, as he accounted for just how many wounds he had.
Let's see... I'm missing an arm, and have about seven or eight deep slash wounds, and at least ten stab wounds... I can work with that.
(OOC: ^ A reference to Shive's thoughts during the Xenomorph invasion.)
He did something surprising. The dragon made his shield shrink and use its flames to cover his hand, and he ran it across his wounds, cauterizing them to stop the bleeding. The only one he didn't do so was his lack of an arm... and from the stump, flames leaked out, forming a new arm and sword.
"A symbol of my will to live, my desire to return to my friends. I won't let a brutal match like this stop me, 'cause I still have a promise to keep, and I knew finding you would help me keep that promise, because now I'm stronger then ever." Solranous grinned, and Flash Stepped behind Zaraki Kenpachi. Seven slash wounds appeared on his back, though not as deep as others because of Zaraki's increased reiatsu. With powerful bicycle kick to the head, Solranous set Zaraki down through the building, most likely startling anybody inside.
"And I swear, no more ranged attacks."

Zaraki pulled himself back up, cracking his neck.
"Good. Ranged attacks are for pansies. NOW LET'S GO!" He roared, reiatsu spiraling about him.
He rushed forward and slammed his blade into Solranous's, sending streams of reiatsu bursting away from the impact zones after every hit. He brought his blade up and knocked Solranous's arms into the air before Zaraki shoved the blade through Solranous's gut, then balanced on it and kicked the dragon in the side of the head before pushing off, taking his sword with him. He bounced into the air before coming back down and slamming the blade into the concrete, creating a crater and sending rubble into the air, as well as Solranous.
He jumped up and grabbed Solranous by the back-spines before spinning around madly, eventually letting Solranous go. Zaraki then Flash-Stepped to where Solranous would land, and the captain brought his sword to the side with such force that the wind pressure itself actually cracked a few of the dragon's ribs. Now, the blade itself drove about halfway through Solranous's stomach, organs leaking out as well as large amounts of blood. Zaraki grinned deeper as he grabbed Solranous by the face and ripped the blade out, then shoved his hand into the massive side-wound and ripping out part of Solranous's intestine.
((Good god, this is one of the most brutal fights to take place in all of ELL...))

(OOC: I know. Solranous: And there's more where that came from!)
Solranous grabbed Zaraki's arm as he pulled out the organ where his wrist connected to it...
And crushed it... without so much as blinking, forcing Kenpachi to let go.
Roaring, Solranous continued by clamping his jaws over Zaraki's sword arm, his fangs digging deep into the deranged captain's flesh and muscle. Jerking back, a good chunk of Zaraki's sword arm came with the clenched fangs as the ripped from him, and blood was pouring from both of their wounds...
Yet neither showed any sign of quiting. Both had insane endurance, and Zaraki didn't even flich at pain, while Solranous was temporarily cutting off signals from pain receptors. Throwing the chunk of meat away, Solranous roared again, building energy in his fangs for another bite, which was going to be...
BOOM!
As Solranous dug his fangs into Kenpachi's shoulder, the energy exploded from them, seriously damaging both fighters, almost completely trashing the inside of Solranous' maw, and making Zaraki's shoulder a bloody mess. The dragon, not feeling pain any more, jabbed his sword deep into Zaraki's shoulder, keeping the captain's own zanpoktou at bay with his tail blades. Shrieking, the dragon shoved Zaraki away, only to charge at him again with Flash Step, aiming a powered-up spin kick to his waist as to shatter ribs.

Before Zaraki could fly backwards from the recoil of the kick, he shoved his Zanpoktou through Solranous's shin, anchoring the Shinigami captain. He then spun around and kicked Solranous in the face before jumping backwards, ripping out the sword and shredding flesh in the process.
"Someone's gettin' a little rough. All the better!" He roared, laughing.
He spun around and laid down a massive flurry of jabs and slashes with the blade, catching Solranous in the neck, shoulder, rib, face, chest and hip before he spun around and brought the blade down strongly, the blade crashing through Solranous's shoulder into the chest, nrealy touching the dragon's lung before Zaraki ripped it out and 'laid Solranous out' with a powerful uppercut, then front-flipped up and brought his foot crashing down on the dragon's open abdomen. He grabbed Solranous by the tails and slammed the dragon into the nearby wall.
"So, why'd ya challenge me to a fight again?" He asked as he stomped on Solranous's throat.
The Captain bounced backwards, narrowing his eyes.
"Sumthin 'bout keepin' a promise? What, someone owe ya a bet?"

"Not really, I promised an acquiantance that'd I'd help him get free from his master, his history is similar to mine, or as it should be put, my history is simialr to his. I was disgusted that the monstrous lich down on Earth was using him to do his bidding, so I was going to destroy him. But I need to get stronger to do that. I can get stronger on my own, yes, but I gain so much more in a similar time limit if I challenge a stronger opponent. And self training can only get me so far." Solranous responded, using telekinesis to replace his organs inside of his body, and then cauterized the wound to keep it from spilling out again.
"And I knew I made the right choice to gain more power more quickly when I challenged you, because I felt your reiatsu last time I was here, but couldn't identify it until now."
The dragon pulled himself out of the wall, ready to continue the fight.
"I know you get a thrill out of strong opponents, so I ask you, was accepting my challenge worthwhile to give you some entertainment?"
After he asked, his fangs charged with energy again, as the dragon has proven to be uncaring if he takes damage, should his opponent take more damage.
Another explosion ensued when he Flash Stepped behind Zaraki and dug his fangs into the captain's back. The dragon then round house kicked Zaraki in the head, sending him through a building. The dragon followed through, using a tail blade to stab Zaraki's sword arm's wrist, as more energy built in his maw.
"Since I'm up close, this doesn't count as a ranged attack, Star Burst Flare!" The beam lanced into Zaraki's face, detonating. The dragon reared his shield arm back, the shield shifting to cover his hand, and threw forward, intending to rend Zaraki's face.
(OOC: The Fourth Division is gonna have a field day with this, I can already see a particular situation happening.
[Fourth Division Member: Solranous please, don't be rash! Your wounds have only now closed up, if you keep moving like this, they'll open again!
Solranous: (while wrapped in many numerous bandages) I'm fine.
Second Fourth Division Member: Please, listen to reason, you're in no condition to move now!
Solranous: (annoyed) I said, 'I'm FINE!']
Rinse and repeat as needed until one party gives up... And I wonder what the pink-haired girl is thinking about this...)

((Oh no. Not Fourth Squad. Not now. Yachiru: At least Kenchi's having fun...))
Zaraki skidded backwards, and was about to dash forward when a good two dozen figures appeared between them. They all wore Shinigami robes, and had the kanji for 2 on their robes.
"Aw sh*t. Come to ruin my fun again..." Zaraki muttered, hefting his blade onto his shoulder and turning his head to the side.
One of the newcomers stepped forward and stated,
"Solranous of Fourth Squad, and Zaraki Kenpachi of 11th squad, you are placed under temporary arrest by order of Commander Yamamoto for fighting in the court of the Gomei 13, releasing a Zanpoktou in a time of peace, and unlawful destruction of public property. Now come with us peacably or you will be charged with resisting arrest."
At that point, all of the Shinigami's hands went to their Zanpoktou handles. Zaraki scowled as his Zanpoktou swung forward, aiming it at the squad. Most of them shouted and yelled in fear and surprise, before a familiar voice stated,
"No Zaraki. Not this time. Just shut up, and I'll take care of it."
Hitsugaya jumped down between the 11th squad captain and the 2nd squad members, stating,
"It was a misunderstanding. My squad member is clearly uninformed of Soul Society rules and regulations; as for Captain Kenpachi, well... you know him. I'll be sure to take the blame for my squad member."
The 2nd squad all murmmured to themselves, then the leader stepped forward, stating,
"But Captain Hitsugaya, we had direct orders from Commander-"
"AND I'M RE-DIRECTING THOSE ORDERS, damnIT! Now head back to Yamamoto's office and tel him it was a mistake!"
The squad leader nodded, unsure, then the group jumped away. Hitsugaya turned his icy glare to Zaraki, who had already put his eyepatch back on, sighing in dissapointment.
"Zaraki, you need to learn to NOT pull this crap. One more fight, and Yamamoto could revoke your position!"
Zaraki scowled at the captain, and shook his head. He then jumped away, probably back to his own squad headquarters. Hitsugaya grumbled, then turned to give Solranous the coldest glare in existance.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH SH*T YOU'RE IN RIGHT NOW?! Because of you, I'm going to be doing paperwork up to my neck!"
He was suddenly standing directly before the dragon, looking up at him, yet that feeling of being looked down on returned to the emerald dragon.
"If you wanted to have a sparring match, you should've done it somewhere else. I know you don't know the rules around here, but you'll have to shape up and learn them soon. Now, I suggest you head back to the real world immedeatly, or there could be consequences for boh of us."

"And exactly what would those be for? You might want to take a closer look at the city next time when I'm concerned in the matter. However, the fact that this won't happen again is still quite revelent. Good bye for now, Captain Hitsugaya." The dragon responded, returning back to Earth before the young captain could ask what he meant.
When he looked at the city though... There were no signs of the damage caused by the duel that had raged between the dragon and Zaraki Kenpachi...
[End Thread? Or do you want to post the Cap'n's response to the sudden lack of need of repair crews?]
