Hidden Behind the Blue
Chapter Eight_ Red on White
"You wanted to see me, Papa?" Makota walked into the throne room.
"Yeah," He nodded. He disappeared then reappeared in front of her. "Follow me." He said then started to heading for the double doors.
"Ok." Makota followed him into an area of Las Noches that was lit up with artificial sunlight. There were massive red pillars scattered around them. Grimmjow finally stopped then he turned to look at her, "Look kid," He said, "You better pay attention. I'm not going take it easy on ya 'cause your my brat, got it?"
"I got it," She nodded.
"Good," He said. Makota put on her guard when Grimmjow disappeared in a blink of an eye. Makota knew this was going to be difficult. He was just as fast as she was if not faster than she was. He was the king for crying out loud. Makota knew she didn't stand a chance, but she was going to take him on anyway. She could never resist a good fight.
She drew her Zanpaku-to and blocked his stroke as he came at her from behind. Then she disappeared. "Where did you go?" He wondered to himself. "There you are," He smirked when he saw her on top of one the pillars.
"Hunt and devour all enemies in your path, Rei Pantera!" Makota let Rei Pantera transform. She let Rei Pantera come to life as it soared in the air towards Grimmjow.
Grimmjow smirked and caught her Zanpaku-to with his bare hand. "Nice try kid, but that's not good enough." He threw Rei Pantera to the ground. It reverted back to a regular sword. He saw that she was gone again. He was knocked through a pillar when a solid fist came in contact with his cheek.
He skidded to a stop and flew back towards her. Makota blocked his stroke with her own stroke. They kept going at it until Grimmjow started to create a Cero. Makota's eyes widened. She skidded back away from him then disappeared. She always found it hard to fight in midair. She reappeared behind him and started to create her own Cero. He turned around and swatted her hand away. "If you think you can win this by being a little Houdini then you got another thing coming." He said.
"So you want me to be straight forward then, huh?" Well then fine." Makota pulled Rei Pantera around as hard and fast as she could and she cut him down the chest. Rei Pantera's aura hit with such force that Grimmjow went flying down to the ground. Grimmjow did a backflip.
"Kiba no Pantera," Makota released her Bankai. Waves of red aura came at Grimmjow head on. He didn't have time to dodge. The rays of light pierced his skin. Grimmjow hissed in pain. The rays of aura shattered leaving Grimmjow bleeding.
He smirked, "My turn kid." He placed his hand on the flat of Pantera. "Grind," The blade glowed, "Pantera!"
"Oh shit," Makota whispered. She knew she couldn't fight him in his Resurrección Form. She felt a shock wave of energy when he roared. She swallowed. She sheathed Rei Pantera. She flew down to the ground. She gasped when he was right in front of her in an instant. She didn't have time to block him. She went flying into a pillar hard. It knocked the wind out of her. She fell to the sand below unable to catch her breath. She saw him coming, walking towards her. Makota struggled to get to her feet.
"Give up kid," Grimmjow said, "You can't win this."
"Sorry," Makota got to her feet finally, "I'm just too stubborn to give up." She grabbed Rei Pantera and came at Grimmjow as fast as she could go.
