He fell to the ground with a sickening crack, as the enemy shot forward for the final blow. Suddenly, an ominous light filled the chamber with its glow, halting the man in mid-thrust; the fallen god rose up, staring at his opponent with blood-red, crimson orbs, eyes that promised death. "Insolent fool, you dare attempt to hurt my master? State your name, wretched soul, and you may live a little longer." the man flinched at the god's menacing tone and yet he still stood confused, "your master? Do you mean your king? Or your commander? Very well, reaper of death, I will head your question. Behold, my name is Mikage of the Vasto Lorde."
At the mention of the man's name, red eyes widened, and a smirk appeared across the god's face, "so you are my master's important person, why do you seek to destroy him then?" upon seeing Mikage's confused visage, he added "although now master is known as Kuchiki no Byakuya, in the mortal realm, he was once named Teito Klein of the Kingdom of Raggs, the bearer of the Eye of Michael, of I." All that met the end of that sentence was a stretch of stunned silence and then the resounding clang of metal could be herd, the Eye of Michael looked forward at the frozen Mikage then looked down at his discarded soul cutter, this time Michael could not react to the attack that was launched on him, even with the forewarning cry of "TEITO!!".
Both god and hollow fell to the ground, the offender squeezing the other out of his life. "Get off my master at once! I will not tolerate this, even if you are master's important person! I cannot brea…"
"Teito! Teito! Teito! You're alive! I didn't think I'd ever see you again! Isn't this great?" in which was responded with a swift kick in the stomach. Mikage staggered backwards, his face twisted with pain and confusion.
"Master is sleeping right now. Even if he was awake, he would not remember you. Master's memories with anyone concerning the military were sealed; they pose a threat to master's well being, even if it's you, master's former important person. To his knowledge, his first and best friend is Hakuren of the Oak family; you will do well to remember that, wretched soul." Sky blue eyes blurred with tears as he slumped down to the ground,
"No way...we had a promise. We would always be together. Teito…"
"A promise you broke when you went ahead and died, master had been so sad, depressed. However, it looks like master's body can't hold up any longer; I trust that you will not harm master in any way. You will take master back to his nakama. Make no Mistake, this is not a request. This is a command." The Eye of Michael felt his conscience fade into darkness as his master's body slammed down to the concrete floors of Las Noches.
