Start of Something New: The Prince Returns

Pushing off the ground with all of his might, Illunis quickly put space between him and Byakuya. Why? Well, the feeling in which the former captain gave off, was more than enough to send even the strongest of beasts flying. Though, Illunis only put a little space between them. So, did this mean, deep down inside, that he felt he could beat this man? Well, not quite! You see, in terms of the human mind, there is something known as "fight or flight". Illunis, having assessed the situation, chose to logically put distance between him and his opponent before attempting to allow his adrenaline to take over his mind. The three meter distance between him and Byakuya, signified the amount of adrenaline that was now driving him.

"Why do you move away? Are you afraid? Smart kid!"

Pressing forward in response, Byakuya raised his blade. Though, before it reached its zenith, it exploded into a thousand pink shards. Scattering and flying around Illunis, it enclosed him. As of this point, there was no way Illunis could run away...or was there? At this point, one couldn't say that Illunis wasn't skilled. He had, up to this very point, done everything in his power to survive in his fight against Byakuya. So, why exactly would one assume he was pushed into a corner!
