The Eyes Of The Blind See All.

[masorin]

Markus pushed off from the ground flipping from his hands to his feet he focused on the halberd watching its motions dodging it. but more then one time this caused him to get kicked by jong jong. Markus slid back on his heels as he blocked the flurry of attacks. A slight cut hitting his left shoulder just a light scratch that caused some blood to drip from his arm. ~hes using shikai? I could draw my own but… no now is not the time or place for that.~ he jumped back taking up a new stance. He breathed heavily for a moment reaching back to a pouch on his back. “I really do hate to do this. but I think you can handle it.”

In the world there are many different types of alcohol most of which contain usually only 20-30% alcohol. To contain any more then that is called moonshine and is illegle on the grounds that it can be fatal. The most a drink has before becoming iligle or fatal to drink is about 50% the bottle that markus picked up was a rare drink made by clearly suicidal people. It is known as the destroyer of livers but it was a nessasary evil. 60% alchohale would kill a human being good thing markus is already dead.

The bottle feel from markus’s hand as he looked about in a daze his motions changed slightly as the bottle feel in what felt like forever until with a quick hand he hit the bottle and launched it at Jong jong and then he launched himself charging at the captain with new found speed he attacked almost blindly his motions were drunk but his fist carried with it a vary real and deadly flurry of attacks.

[Adimus]

Knocking away Markus seemed to make him a bit desperate, because what happened next unsettled JongJong a bit.

In life, he had once met a man named Wong Fei Hung, and this particular fellow had a rather unique way of fighting. During his lifetime, he invented not one but two new and distinct styles of kung fu, one being his family's namesake, the other being something known as Drunken Boxing, which, after chugging a bottle that would kill most people, Markus was very attuned with.

And well trained in it at that.

The attacks cam flying at JongJong with an immense speed and fury, of which JongJong, even with his past experience couldn't evade them all. Many hits landed, and they stung quite a bit, knocking him off balance. After a set of flurry blows finally sent him backwards, JongJong kicked up using his Halberd and kicked Markus away giving him precious distance between the two.

"Drunken Boxing, not bad, but it's a skill that requires one to be close to his target." JongJong said lifting his Halberd back into a defense stance. "And I don't intend to give you such a thing!" He said as he began to attack using nothing but distance attacks.

[masorin]

Markus’ spine twisted and droped as he dodged the halberds strikes even batting it away a few times. With his footing being drunk it was an odd kind of grace stepping in and out of line in time with the halberd. “OI drunk im not!” he stepped in again only to fall backwards reaching up clumsily he grabbed the halberd with an iron grip.

“I am just tipsy!” as he spoke he pulled on the halberd attempting to bring Jongjong closer to him with on hand still on the halberd he brought himself next to Jongjong so that they were facing the same way. his legs went to Jongjongs footing trying to catch his footing and trip him.

“Achoo!” Markus sneezed as he moved. The world seemed to spin and blur. His head felt light and yet he was focused. The waving lines threw off his balance but with his senses dulled by the alcohol he could see the motions he was making. The equilibrium adjusted to his own weight being tossed from place to place, he hadn’t faught like this in a long time, and yet it felt incredible like he was back on a bike. a vary clumsy bike made of fists.

[Adimus]

JongJong had anticipated Markus trying to grab his weapon, and then used it to throw him around and to knock him off balance. Spinning the halberd in a circle wouldn't prove much use to a man already heavily inebriated, but it would serve to confuse him. After all, though he may be an expert fighter using a style that thrives off of being tipsy, actually being drunk while using it can result in one hurting themselves since the acts involve acrobatic movements, which as all should know, is very hard to do when drunk.

As such, JongJong flipped Markus up and then down and then backwards using the halberd before sliding in low and kicking upward towards Markus' jaw.

[masorin]

Markus was thrown around from side to side spinning in every direction the already blurred world becoming a spinning sickening mass. Landing on his feet more by luck and chance then skill the world was still spinning so when the kick came upwards. Something else came out.

“Bluerf!” the upchuck was nasty and down right unpleasant as he heaved out his insides over the incoming attack and then fell backwards lying down on the ground breathing heavily as the world seemed to regain some of its balance. ~must have drank to much instead of being tipsy I got drunk… reduce it down to 50% next time and see what happens~

Markus’ mind wasn’t sober just expelled a good amount of what he needed to reach that place. in between drunk and tipsy the right level of balance and off. it had been so long since he drank his immunity was off. but now. he laid back he would wait for the next attack and strike upwards from the ground. a good feint at least that’s how it seemed.

[Adimus]

JongJong had succeeded in throwing Markus off balance, and got a bonus for his feat: Vomit. He narrowly dodged the incoming bile and went to grab Markus from falling backwards, clearly noting that this was fight was over when a kick came flying out of nowhere nearly hitting him in the face.

Thankfully he blocked it in time and grabbed Markus' foot telling him, "I think it's high time we give this a rest eh? After your little show of bodily function, it might be safe to say the sparring match is over. That and this place smells terrible now." As he placed the foot back down and moved to touch his new friends shoulder. "Let's take it easy now. Fun fight though gotta admit." He said in a cool but still playful manner. It was fun, that part was true. But that damn vomit definitely put an end to it for JongJong.

[masorin]

Markus sighed it had been a long time since he had used that style and he had clearly over done it. Raising his hand to his chest it began to glow an off shade of green. His eyes closed for a moment as his body pulsed. When his eyes opened there was no sighn of intoxication. Getting to his feet he nodded “yeah your right twas fun while it lasted.”

Markus began to walk away from the barracks. The smell wasn’t on his person which he was thankfull for. Grabbing his captains jacket he began to walk back towards fourth squad. “a long time ago I belonged to the second squad. During that time I was part of the omniskado but due to a lack of shikai or bankai I could only carry myself in the containment squad. For a while I worked directly under a man named Urahara kiuske, a bit of a nut ball really. When he disappeared from soul society I became the new head of security for the maggots nest. The new pressure caused me to find alcohol. One day I showed up to work my shift in the maggots nest drunk, and who would have guessed I was a natural at that style. Since then I took to taking heavy alcohol to work and hiding it on my person. perfecting the style in the maggots nest. When I transferred to fourth squad, I just took to keeping the bottle with me at all times. But its been about three years since I last used it, so I over estimated the amount of alcohol my blood could take.”

[Adimus]

"Wow, that's quite a nice resume you can use there! 2nd squad, and now head of fourth. I assume you now have a bankai and shikai if you're a captain now?" JongJong asked Markus, curious as to who was being promoted these days to lead the Gotei 13. "Stragglers and crooks like me in charge of a law enforcement squad, and killers and containment members at the head of the medic squad. What an odd time we exist in." he thought to himself.

[masorin]

Markus smiled as he walked with Jongjong “it’s a new world that’s for sure.” Markus wasn’t really convinced that the time wasn’t really that different from any other time in the gotie thirteen sure the captains were new but the spirit was always the same. “bankai, yeah I have it but its not something I could draw here and now. lets just say that my weapon is the real reason I was chosen for my job, and the longer I can go without having to use it the happier ill be.”

[Adimus]

"Oh, and what exactly is your weapon then, If I may ask." JongJong said to Markus. "As you could see, mine just simply turns into a giant halberd, and all it does is shoot off waves of reiatsu. Nothing too special really. But since you're in fourth squad and their captain, I assume that you'res does some form of amazing healing power?" JongJong stated.

[masorin]

Markus shrugged hearing him ask about his Zanpakuto. “im sorry to say you are just going to have too wait until the day comes when I can draw them. describing my Zanpakuto is difficult. All I can tell you is that my spirit is a real bitch to work with some times. But im betting that’s the problem with most peoples zanpakuto’s. did you know that often she wont even let me draw her unless I absolutely need her help. I mean shes my weapon and yet she treats it as if im her Zanpakuto.”

[Adimus]

"That's rough man, and I thought I had it bad. My Zanpaktou is a eleven year old girl with pink hair and a blindfold that repeatedly hit me over the head with a judge's hammer while I trained with her. Needless to say, it was annoying. But none the less, she's easy to get along with, and aides me well in combat. If the need ever arises, you'll get to see my Bankai, which is a neat sight to behold. Kinda reminds me of when I was still alive, of which those memories just recently came back to me thanks to her..." JongJong said as he begun to reminisce on his past life. "My, how time flies, with or without fun huh Markus? Tell me, do you remember any of your past life, before you became a Shinigami?" JongJong asked Markus looking over to him.

[masorin]

Markus stopped for a moment what did he remember? Life before death. His hand went to his chest for a moment he remembered a cold embrace, a crash of steel and a pain, like being stabbed only a hundred times worse. “I was murdered that’s about all I know. ran threw with a sharp and point blade. Not much else im afraid. my story didn’t start back then my story started in the rukon. No family no money, I was a street rat of sorts. Got into a lot fights learned to run really fast, and steal fruits. Basically it was a harsh life but, it helped me become the squad two member that impressed them all. So say what you want about the past but there’s no real point to it. my memories are in my past my hart is in the future.”

[Adimus]

"My heart is in the future." The words echoed within JongJong's very soul as he quoted what Markus had just said, making him feel much better about the state of things, and reminded him swiftly that dwelling on the past will solve you nothing, but instead it was looking to the front of you, the future, that held all the answers. "Well my friend, I guess that's the best advice I've heard in a lifetime, and it's advice I'll just have to follow. Come, we got things to do and places to go, and while we're out, let's go find the Captain Commander, I'm sure he could use a nice walk out on a day like this and relax a bit. Must be endless streams of information running through his head these days." JongJong said as he motioned for his new friend to follow, and together, who knew where fate would take them.

The only thing resounding in his head, was that old phrase his mentor had said to him; "The Eyes Of The Blind See All. Do not let the injustices slip past you, and keep pressing onward." "Good advice old man, guess my eyes will have to be blind to see whats ahead of me and judge appropriately." JongJong said to himself within his mind.
