Vincent smile's as the blood continues to drip off of chin. "I guess it's time I show you why I'm the Akuma Espada." He pulls Grimjows zapakuto out of his chest and lifts his own. "Corrupt," Vincents spiritual energy begins to swirl around him tuning midnight blue with a black edge. "CHAOS!" His zapakuto explodes around him into a black sphere. Both Grimjow and Kallen take several steps back as black wings protrude from the sphere. The sphere begins to take form of a demon like creature.
His hair is more rough and ridged than before, with two locks curving up like horns. His left arm covered in a metal gauntlet. The other, a skeleton like arm covered in black cloth. His mask diverging into a second piece under his left eye and reconnecting above his ear. His eyes,blood red with silted pupils focused on Grimjow. His spiritual pressure over whelming to Kallen and keeping her from breathing.
Kallen move back a foot. You'll be underneath the spiritual barrier, that way you won't be affected by my spiritual pressure.
Kallen nods her head slowly. "O...OK Vincent." She crawls backward and begins to breath normally again.
Vincent turns back to Grimjow and raises his spiritual pressure even more. "Listen and listen well Grimjow. If anyone ever goes after Kallen, THEY WILL PAY FOR IT!"
Vincent disappears faster then Grimjow can follow. He reappears behind Grimjow with his gauntlet hand raised by his head.
"What did you…" Five large cashes open up on Grimjows side and spill fourth a fountain of blood. Grimjow falls to his knees and coughs up even more blood. "How… How can you move that fast? I'm supposed to be the fastest." Grimjow falls to the ground and passes out. "I told you Grimjow, you will never be able to beat me. I am the strongest of all the Espada. That's why I am the Akuma Espada." Vincent stretches out his righthand and in a flash of light his zanpakuto is resting in his hand.
He sheathes his zanpaku-to and walks over to Kallen who is still gawking. "Are you alright Kallen. You look a little pale." She nods but doesn't say any thing. He helps her up and over to the stairs. "Here, sit down and take a breather…" Before he can finish the Director Generals, Kaneme Tosen and Gin Ichimaru, appear behind him. Kanemebegrabs his zanpakuto . "What happened here Vincent. Explain yourself."
Vincent turns towered Kaname and puts his hand on his Zanpakuto. "Grimjow appeared while I was training Kallen and attacked me. When he couldn't beat me, he turned his sights on Kallen and tried to attack her. I protected her and then released my zanpakuto and took him down. End of story. Any questions?" He smiles at the Director Generals and then turns back towered Kallen.
Kaneme draws his zanpakuto and points it at Vincent's back. "That doesn't excuse what you have done Vincent. You have killed one of your fellow Espada…"
"Who said I was dead!" GrimJow lifts his torso and looks at Vincent and the Director Generals with disgust on his face.
Vincent starts laughing. "I knew you weren't dead Grimjow, your too thick headed to die like that." He stops laughing and walks out from under the spiritual barrier and releases his spiritual pressure. Kaneme, Gin, and Grimjow freeze and then turn towered Vincent, who now has a murderous look in his eyes. "I can forgive Grimjow for what he's done, because it's in his nature, but you Kaname. If you try to assert authority over me again, I don't care what Aizen does or says, I'll tare you apart. You and Gin are not above me. You may be the Director General's but I am Aizen's right hand man. We have known each other long before he was ever captain, long before you ever met him. You two and I share responsibilities, but you two are not to try and reprimand me, ever again. YOU GOT THAT KANAME!"
Gin moves in between Vincent and Kaname before the two can even move a finger. " That's enough you two." He turns towered Vincent. "We hear you Vincent, and I'll try to keep Kaname aware of that fact. We'll be on our way then, and we'll take Grimjow with us. Good day Vincent." Gin and Kaname disappear with Grimjow.
Vincent returns his spiritual pressure to normal and turns back to Kallen. "I think that's enough training for today. We'll start again tomorrow." He extends his hand to her. "Come on, lets go." Kallen grabs his hand and he helps her up the stairs. They head back to Vincent's living quarters where Vincent opens the door and turns to her. "I should probably report to Lord Aizen on what happened with Grimjow. I'll be back shortly. Just stay in side and keep the door closed. OK." he turns and starts walking towered the throne room. He looks back at Kallen. "Oh ya. I want you to practice your control over your spiritual energy and pressure." He turns back around and continues on his way.
Kallen stands at attention and nods. "Yes sir." As he rounds the corner she heads inside and closes the door. "What was Vincent talking about back there."
(Flashback)
"Well, if I can't beat you, then maybe I can hurt you through HER!" Grimjow turns his attack towered Kallen. Kallen takes a step back and closes her eyes waiting for Grimjows zanpakuto to pierce her.
After a few seconds she looks up and sees Vincent standing in front of her with Grimjows zanpaku-to coming through his back. Vincent looks back at her and smiles. "Are you alright Kallen."
She nods her head. "But why Vincent. Why save me?"
He smiles again, but this time with blood dripping from his chin. "Because, when I died and saw you at my funeral, I made a promise to myself that I would always protect you from danger." He turns back to grimjow with killing intent in his eyes. "And I'm making sure that I keep that promise."
(End Flashback)
"When he saw me at his funeral. I wonder what he means?"
She sits down in the middle of the room and focuses on her spiritual energy and her control overit. After a few minutes she remembers portions of when she was alive. She thinks back on when she was nine and the funeral she went to. It was a closed casket funeral but she can't help but feel like she knew the person in the casket. She then remembers the night she got her diamond necklace and the note that was with it. Stay safe Kallen. Always protecting you, Vincent Valentine He eyes pop open when she recalls the day she was taken from her mother, and the man she saw protecting her. When she remembers his face, all she can see is Vincent's. "Oh my god. Vincent was the same man that saved me that day and he was the one who left me that necklace." Tears start running down her cheeks.
"Oh, look at the little cry baby. Maybe we should put her out of her misery? What do you say sister's?" The three arrancar sisters appear behind Kallen with their zanpakutos in hand. Kallen looks at them as they walk towered her when she feels something in her snap. As she stands up her spiritual pressure explodes. She draws her zanpaku-to and looks at the sisters terrified faces with murder in her eyes.
"This is the second time today my life has been threatened and I'm not going to take any of this crap any more, especially by three weakling imbeciles like YOU!" The heat in the room begins to rise as Kallen walks towered the arrancar sisters. Flames begin to erupt from her zanpakuto as the rooms temperature continues to rise. As she gets closer to the arrancar sisters, her zanpakuto explodes into a ball of fire.
Meanwhile, Vincent stops in front of the throne room door's and knocks.
"Come in."
Vincent opens the door and walks through to find Aizen sitting on his throne. Vincent walks to the middle of the room and is then surrounded by other arrancar's with their zanpaku-to's pointed at him. "I've heard of what you've done Vincent. And I'm most disappointed in you."
Vincent looks at the arrancar's and then back at Aizen. "I only did what I had to do to protect her. I admit, I might have gone a little overboard with releasing my zanpakuto. But Grimjow had no right to attack her." Vincent disappears and reappears in front of Aizen's throne as all of the arrancar's collapse onto the floor. "And you went a little overboard with the fraccion. I didn't kill him, so we don't have to find a replacement. So what's the problem?"
Aizen looks down at him with a sly smirk. "That's the exact problem. You didn't kill him. He was weak and you didn't finish him."
Vincent looks up at Aizen with surprise and a disgust. "I knew you were sick, but that's just twisted. If you went by that idea, every arrancar here should be killed, there isn't an arrancar here who is…" At that moment, Vincent feels a quick pulse of Kallen's spiritual pressure. "…stronger than me. Now if this is all, I'll be in my living quarters. Good night, sir." He turns around and disappears out the door.
He reappears at his door and opens it with his spiritual pressure and runs inside. He sees the burnt bodies of the arrancar sisters on the floor. He looks up and sees Kallen reverting to her normal form. When the transformation is finished her zanpauto is lying on the flood while she falls to her knees next to it. Vincent runs over to her and kneels down beside her. "What the hell happened in here? Are you alright?"
Tears begin to flood Kallen's face. They were going to attack me after you left. When they started to approach me, something snapped and the next thing I knew I'm standing over their burning bodies in some...weird form. She begins to fully cry now and grabs Vincent's clothes and leans into his chest. He wraps and arms around her and lets her cry.
After a while Kallen falls asleep and Vincent takes her into her room and puts her underneath the covers. He closes the door to her room and then calls Aizen and several fraccion. Aizen arrives first and sees the burnt remains of the arrancar sister's.
"Could you not control yourself again Vincent?" Vincent walks up beside Aizen and places his hand on Aizen's shoulder.
"It wasn't me Aizen. They were already here when when I got back. No, it was Kallen who did this." Aizen looks at Vincent with surprise.
"Your sure Kallen did this? These three were some of the most powerful fraccion under your command." Vincent nods. "Yes, I'm sure. When I walked in, Kallen was reverting back to her normal form after she had released her zanpauto." Aizen looks at Vincent with a peek of interest in his eye's.
"Really, she released her zanpauto, this early. Interesting. None of the other arrancar's here in Los Noches were able release their zanpakuto until they had complete control of their power. And from what I had picked up when we first met her, she didn't have much control over her power. Very interesting. Make sure you teach her how to control that power of hers. Oh and make sure this…" He points at the charred remains. "gets cleaned up." Aizen then disappears out the door.
Several minutes later the fraccion appear in front of Vincent and kneel down. You called for us, Lord Vincent? They all speak at once and then look up at Vincent.
"Yes, I did. I need you three to clean up this mess and dispose of the bodies." Vincent turns and heads for the door to Kallen's room. "Oh, and can you hurry." He opens the door and walks in. He closes the door as the three fraccion begin the to clean up. Vincent walks over to Kallen's bed and sits down next to her and begins to fall asleep. Before he falls does, he looks over at Kallen and brushes a lock of hair out of her face. "At least you can protect yourself now. But…I'll…always…be…there…for you…Kallen." He falls asleep for the rest of the night
The next morning Vincent awakes to find Kallen closer to him than he remembered and her hand rapped tightly around his. He looks up at her and sees that she is still asleep, but with a smile on her face. He smiles down at her before leaning back and falling asleep again. Later that morning Vincent is awakened by a sense of foreboding and Kallen's absence. He get up and heads into the main living area but still cannot find Kallen. He searches for Kallen's spiritual pressure. He finds it, but it's very weak. He also senses remnants of Kaname's and Grimjow's spiritual pressure. He slams the door open and rushes down the hall. When he gets to the throne room door's he blows them of their hinges and flies into the room with his spiritual pressure pouring out and flattening all fraccion against the ground.
"AIZEN! WHERE IS SHE!" Aizen looks at Vincent with a serious look on his face.
"What are you taking about Vincent?" Vincent's Spiritual pressure explodes with his rage as Aizen looks down at him.
"CORRUPT, CHAOS!" Vincent's zanpaku-to explodes into a black sphere. Vincent soars out of the sphere in his resurreccion form and soars through the fraccion, tearing them appart. He soars up to Aizen with murder in his eyes. "Where is she Aizen? Kallen is gone and i can still feel Kaname and Grimjows spiritual pressure still in my quarters. So where is she?"
Aizen looks at him sternly. "I have notheing to do with this Vincent, you should know that. Grimjow and Kaname are doing this of their own accord. Now, if you please, will you calm down while in my thrown room?"
Vincent's rage continues to rise. "If i find out your apart of this Aizen, I'll destroy you and all of Las Noches." Vincent leaves the throne room and soars through the hallways of Las Noche's Following Kallens diminishing spiritual pressure.
After an hour of following Kallens spiritual pressure, he finds her unconscious body in the sands of Las Noches. He flies up and lands beside her. "Kallen...Kallen...wake up Kallen." He starts shaking her with his clothed arm, but she doesn't respond. "Come on, i know your still alive kallen, so...wake up." He stairs at her with tears in his eyes. "Damn it Kallen...WAKE UP!"
Behind him Grimjow and Kaname appeare and walk up behind him. "well well well, Vincent. I wouldn't had pegged your for the emotional type." Grimjow begins laughing.
Kaname stays quiet as he draws his zanpakuto and dawns his hollow mask. "Get up Vincent. Stand ad fight, or die where you kneel."
Vincent stands up and faces Kaname and Grimjow. Why? Why would you drag her into this?
Grimjow steps fowared and draws his zanpakuto. "Because, we needed to get you by your self so we could end you with out being interupted by any one else. And after how you treated her, we thought that she would make the perfect bait. Besides, i wanted to see the look on your face when you saw her on the brink. ah, priceless. Now, time to get to business. He places his han on blade of his zanpakutoand grinds his finger nails down it. GRIND, PANTERA!" (Not going to describe Resurreccion form. Watch anime or read mana)
Vincent doesn't even flich at the power Grimjow releases. As Gromjow and Kaname walk towered him, Vincents spiritual pressure risses beondanything they have ever felt and he begins to shake. Remember this you two. What you feal now is only a quarter of my power and I can still crush you both He raises his head to look at them with murderous intent pouring out of his eyes.
Kaname steps fowered and raises his zanpakuto "You cant crush us if you can't find us. Bankai, Enma Koorogi Suzumushi.
A black dome covers Vincent, and takes away all of his senses. As Kaname and Grimjow come closer to the dome, they feel Vincents spiritual pressure rise. As they stair in horror, the black dome crack and then shatters. Vincent walks towered Kaname and Grimjow while his gauntlet starts to emanate pitch black sprit energy.
"Shadousurasshu" In an instant Vincent appears behind Grimjow and Kaname as five black gashes appear on them. As they turn towered Vincent the gashes begin to spread.
"What...what did you do to us." Grimjow resurreccion and Kanames mask begin to disappear.
Vincent walks over to Kallen and picks her up bridal style and turns to Grimjow and Kaname. "Shadousurasshu, slash my enemy with condensed spirit energy and as soon as it touches their body, the energy begins to devour the spiritual energy and reishi untill there is nothing left. You should count your selves lucky, i could have just torn you apart and let you bleed to death. once i leave, Shadousurasshu will dissipate, but not with out causing substantial damage and causing excruciatingpain. If you come any where near Kallen again, i won't hold back next time."
With that Vincent soars into the air and back to his living quarters after a little while, he arrives and heads straight to Kallen's room. He places here on the bed and covers her up. He heads back out and creates a barrierand then heads back to Kallens room. Before getting to close and seals his resurreccion back into his zanpakuto and sits down next to Kallen. "Please be all right Kallen." As the Hours go by Vincent eventual falls asleep.
