Zento v Blaine

Well firstly I suppose one should set up the arena for the fight, that one was quite simple of course. The fight was a duel between two manly men, One known to be a puppeteer and another known to be fond of bugs like some sort of deranged five year old who collected the things and pinned them to the wall. The arena as it was was simply put a box, now the walls were not visible but just because something is not visible does not mean it is not there. Even the child knows this simple fact, it is an apparent truth known to the world, a common sense form of deal.

Anyways I should stop blabbling and get onto the dimensions of aforementioned box eh? Well now those were even easier to understand than the fact before it. The walls stretched up a good twenty meters, so hitting the ceiling would be hard not impossible mind you and none who could view the fight would doubt that either would reach the goal some time through the fight but who knew after all. Of course I will take a quick break out of here to state simply that the walls were as weak as they were visible. The walls stretched a good hundred meters and I did say it was a box, however I should clarify that it was a square, not a cube mind you since that would imply that they also stretched into the sky one hundred meters as well. I will also note that beneath the ground there is a bottom to this box, and it is the same length as it stretches into the sky.

Now that the box is clarified and out of the way some other things need to be placed within here, the fact that both opponents are inside the box, though I will not place my opponent as that would be god modding, I will say that he is not within a ten meter radius of Royce however. As that is only fair, next up I suppose I should paint and color in the scene. It was a beautiful sun shining day and yes the sunlight did piece through the walls, one of the only things that would. There was however no sounds save one a constant hum that seemed to permeate the entire box like the hovering or use of many tiny wings, and the only smells within were that of the grass. There were a total of three trees haphazardly placed within the box, however they were not within five meters of each other. The ground, which is to say soil was in fact actually hardened bedrock and not something that one could dig through with a spade or shovel which yes I am aware is the same thing but bear with me, you only have a bit more to read now.

Next up, and finally I will describe Royce. With stark white hair that is worn in spikes one would first assume that Royce was old, however it is not age bleached. Rather it is youthful like freshly fallen snow, it cascades down his head like a roaring avalanche. Often it is messy, with thick strands ticking this way and that like he has horrid bed head. The hair is longer in the back then the front, but most do not notice as all the hair seems long. Wearing a thin white undershirt that blends into his pale skin, Royce stands at five feet nine inches. He weighs a total of one hundred and fifty pounds, not including the leather armor on his arms. The leather is a dull black with red lines along the knuckles down to the fingers. They have a red design at the top as well, and the knuckles have metal covering. The right arm is almost completely filled with metal plates, spacing of one inch are in between the metal. Naturally these plates are not on the joints. On his fingers are a bunch of rings, this combined with the metal on his knuckles protects the hands well. Now one should note that this metal is in fact a great insulator, better than rubber and harder than steel, yet flexible as cloth and about as heavy as well. Royce stood about five feet at a forty five degree angle from the tree that was smack dab in the middle of the box. On his hip was a pouch which was filled to the brim with senbon, over twenty in count and the medic knew how to use them.

With a smile and a calm look on his face, Zento was sitting inside his Lagann puppet. He would smile softly and watch his opponent. Taking into consideration everything around him. The man was having a bit of distance from the man. He would think about the area. It was well lit and he could see perfectly clear. His opponent was easy to see from everything. Zento however, was not able to be seen for he was inside the puppet. He looked at him. The puppet that he was in looked like a head with arms and legs. He would then place his right hand to his chin. Thinking more on everything around him. This was no time to really mess around. He then opened the lid of his puppet. He then was standing with his arms crossed. A more seriouse look on his face.

Zento would take a small breath and speak. "I guess it's time for us to fight." Zento would pull out another scroll and throw it into the air. Making one hand seal. His puppet Gurren leaving and landing next to him. "My name is Zento Anichi. I will fight with everything I have and I hope that you do the same. Don't hold anything back now." After that, Lagann would jump into the air and get grabbed by Gurren who would then slam him into his head. The bottom of Lagann turning into a drill and then, The puppets started to change. Lagann combining with Gurren in order to make Gurren Lagann. The puppet would stand with its arms crossed Just like Zento was. The head still open. He look look down onto his opponent and then speak once more. "Alright it's time that we get this started!" The head of Gurren Lagann would close and Zento now in his seat. He would get ready for the fight. His puppet standing in a fighting position.

The right arm out with an open palm while his left hand covered his chest with the hand in a fist for a power block. He would watch his opponent and then, the Sun glasses would leave the puppet and he would grab them. Throwing it with great force at his opponent. A second pair of sunglasses would also be thrown with it. The shades would open at the ends with what looks like handcuffs to lock up parts of the body. If it would connect, each one would have an arm and a leg in lock. Zento would then also charge at his opponent with a two drills comming out of the right wrist of his opponent.

He would shoot forward. Zento went for a head shot along with a shot to the chest with the drills. Zento would want to end it quickly if he could. his left hand then coming with great speed to throw an uppercut to the mans chin. The power was with great force and speed. He would most likely send the man in the air for a bit. But Zento wasn't done there. With the next move set, Zento would have Gurren Lagann flip with the right leg extended out. Going to crush him in the air and slam him back down if all went acording to plan.Zento would then with a finishing to his combo, would land on his left hand of his puppet and jump back away from him. His right hand stabbing the two drills into the ground and leaving them in there. He would then slide back onto his feet. The puppet back in the same spot it was in before the fight had started.

Cocking his head to the left Royce would ponder and consider his opponent. What an odd fellow this man looked to be, well it looked more vehicle than man really and since he was a puppeteer well that meant it was not really a man there after all. That pondering was confirmed when the hatch opened and something far more human like popped out with their arms crossed. Activating his air needles Majin, the panda, Royce ko Five nine would release them all launching the invisible senbon like things at the man. Now where at the man one would ask, and when one would ask. That part is simple, five to the left part of the chest, five to the right, and five to the head. The rest would be launched at the mans shoulders and they would all hit at the same time as they silently flew through the air which is to say that they would land before he removed the scroll, which if he did not dodge them would make that action impossible. They were launched at the word guess, the first time Zento had opened his mouth. Of course that was not all, the wings who had been floating about throughout the arena made sure to sneak in behind the man while he popped open the hatch and looked at Royce. While Royce was visible these were not, and they went in a milisecond after the needles would land. Of course they would dodge out of the way of the needles if Zento found a way to notice them, which would be rather hard as the technique did not even require hand seals. After that five bugs would explode in a blast. One was five meters above or that is to say where the man would have launched the scroll containing Gurren into the air, they exploded of course before the man made his hand seal after throwing the scroll. The bugs within the cockpit whom were mere inches behind the man when he opened the hatch, around three hundred if anyone was wondering would of course munch on the chakra of the puppet there feeding the chakra back to Royce. Finally as Gurren would appear Royce would begin to form the hand seal needed for his air body, which if it had been done earlier would have prevented any techniques that had been used from occurring on the panda's end. Now if controlling his insects had taken a lot of chakra, or really any chakra this would have neared the end of the chakra ropes for Royce but as it was he was still comfortable as long as he did not use many more jutsu in the upcoming minuets. The other four bugs that exploded were five feet from the hatch of the puppet Zento climbed out of in the cardinal directions and at the same level as Zento if Zento was the center of the compass, which for this technique he was. Once the hand seal was formed if Zento was still there Royce would begin running at half speed to his left, and make it at a rate of three feet per second, or a brisk jog for the S ranked ninja.

Spoiler:

Zento would look at the person. He watched at everything that was happening. Hearing the sound of something comming at him but couldn't see it. But he had to do something and fast. He would jump and flip into the air. He had the arm of Lagann removed and grab Zento. Throwing him far from danger and heading right at his opponent with great speed. His right arm pulled back and then his coat flying off. Showing his true form. His body a puppet, The puppet heart on the left side of his chest. He would scream. "LETS SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH!" His right arm then turning into a drill itself and charging up at full power. He would have the drill charging for the mans gut to stab into and drill right through it. With the quick movement, Zento would flip over the man after the drill attack and pulling back from the attack. He would land behind his opponent back to back. grabbing one the giant star shaped sunglasses in his back with his left arm. Pulling it out and swinging with great force and speed. His left arm was built for something like this. Great combat and the power for that star sunglass. He would swing it at the mans right side at his hip. Spinning on Zento's left and then with his right arm still in drill form, going to drill into the middle of his opponents spine.

Zento then would jump back gaining much distance as he could. Grabbing another scroll. Gurren and Lagann still sitting there. He would then open the scroll in front of him to make sure no funny buissiness got to him. Releasing a puppet he found to be his favorite. "It's time we deal with these bugs like anyone should." He would speak. Out came his favorite puppet. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The puppet would have its chest on fire with green fire covering its body but the arms, legs, and head could still be seen. The puppet would grab its swords in its back and pull them out. Zento would stay calm keeping a look around him for any of his bugs to be close by. He then had his puppet charge at the man. Swinging the sword in its right hand at the mans back right where the left lung would be. Then with the sword in the left hand, it would go to stab into the shoulder and keep forcing to try and push him to the ground and pin him down.

Even without this(which is really cheap on my end), hearing them above the massive drone of 300 bugs inches behind you is impressive, if not impossible but hey lets move past that one.(as its really cheap) Which by the way landed on you before the needles would hit, but let's move past that one.

They have to be touching you to feed on your chakra, which as you didn't shut the hatch as soon as you opened it, which is what I would have done with the three hundred bugs there means they of course are happily munching on your back which since you are a puppet doesn't harm you, but is not great for your chakra.

Which you didn't but you dodged out of the way of the air needles for them.

As such the five bugs didn't explode, you never threw the scroll after all, course theres three hundred feeding on you but. ]]

Seeing the man jump into the air, Royce released the seals on the three hundred bugs feeding off the chakra on his back. Not just any seal, but an explosive seal which would cause all three hundred of those bugs to explode in a fire of twenty meters as soon as he jumped trying to dodge the air needles. This explosion would also consume the puppet as well in it's radius but lucky not Royce who was still standing thirty meters away. After forming that seal he would form the next one and convert his body into air before cautiously walking forward towards the settling ashes.

Spoiler:

Zento was in a bit of a trap. He didn't think this part through and would have to act fast. He would use his full power from the power sorce in his gut to make his drill move even faster than it ever could to absorb most of the explotion like a vacoom to the bugs. Pulling them all to his right side. How would this work out someone would ask? Well, The drill itself can spin at 200 miles an hour and being doubled makes it 400 miles an hour. By using that with the air around him, Zento would cause a small tornado like substance around his drill which would pull the bugs at him very fast and keep him there. for the explotion to have enough distance to keep the heart somewhat safe. He was bangged up and could hardly do much. Now was time to react. Throwing himself to the side with the same time as the explotion. His right side still caught into the explotion. He would fly to the other side of the map. covering his heart as best as he could The bugs were gone and off of him. But so was his right arm along with most of his chest and half of his face. He would stand back up looking at the damage and would sigh. "That was too close for me. Abarame sure are a pain for puppet masters. Something that should be avoided for me at all costs." He would look at the man. The power core inside him still going to keep him going. He would see his puppets in ruins. Taking the sunglasses on his back and grabbing them with his left hand. He would be moving very fast. The man was most likely pretty low on chakra himself. But Zento was reaching a limit of his own sooner or later. He was taking WAY to much damage for this. He would live. Only if he would keep himself out of harm from now on.

With the power core activated all the way, Zento's power was doubled.Along with his speed. He was already at the man and then started to throw the sunglasses at the mans gut at point blank range. It was full of danger to be so close. It was an all or nother at this point. Zento had to give it everything he could in order to get out of this. He would then grab the other pair of shades in his back and throw them. The glasses were spinning and making it to where it looked like a huge ball charged at the man with speed that was crazy. Zento's right side still breaking apart. He would then activate the jets in his legs to kick at the glasses to make them faster and stronger. He would then spin on the ground and go for a strong sweep kick at the mans feet to keep him into the air. The glasses would have a very good chance of hitting him with this close of range. But Zento was done. The power core was hardly active any more. He was at his most weakest state. He couldn't do much after this point.

"That was amazing" Royce would say in his air like state after the explosion occurred, he had saw what had happened moments before the explosion. The man, was in fact a puppet himself and he had saved himself from completely dying. Simply incredible to the aburame, who had never seen anyone do something like that before. Not only that but now Zento was charging to continue the fight.

"I give up" Royce would say after the glasses went through the air that was his gut at this moment. If the man continued his assault Royce would simply sit there as all the physical attacks phased through him harmlessly, not that he could attack back in the state his jutsu put him in anyways.
