Darkness. All she could see was an empty blackness around her. She was tired. Exhausted. She wanted to sleep, but part of her practically screamed not to. Soi Fon turned her head, trying to find anything at all. Still, nothing but blackness. Was this what a Soul Reaper saw when they died? Was she even really dead at all? Envy had said that she would become a part of a mass of souls that was the source of his power.
"So tired…" she muttered to herself. She slowly closed her eyes, ready to face her fate. She was going to fade into little more than a battery for her enemy. That was worse than shameful. Forgive me… Head Captain… forgive me… Lady Yoruichi…
She went silent for a few moments.
…
Suddenly her eyes snapped open. A thought had just come to her mind.
-o-
Envy lounged nonchalantly against a wall on a rooftop, taking a well-deserved break from fighting. Soon enough, he got back up to his feet and dusted himself off. "Well, time to get back to work," he said with a smirk. However, just as he was about dash off to join his fellow demons, a sudden pain struck the inside of his chest. "W-what the?" He grasped his chest in pain. What was happening to him?
To answer his question, a hand exploded out of his chest. He screamed in agony as a human shape pull itself out of him. It was launched several feet away. Soi Fon had finally broken free, covered in Envy's blood. The Sin of Jealously stared in shock and disbelief at the Soul Reaper as his chest's wound rapidly closed.
"What!?" he shouted, unwilling to believe what he was seeing. "How the hell did you get out of my body!?"
Soi Fon panted for a minute, trying to catch her breath. "It wasn't easy," she explained. "I had to do a little soul-searching, so to speak. You said you came to face me because I held jealousy in my heart. You were right." She stood up then, removing her white captain's haori, revealing her Stealth Force uniform underneath. "I am jealous of someone. Two people in fact. I envy Lady Yoruichi, for her strength, her wisdom, her beauty… she's everything I could only wish to be. But… even more than her… I envy Kisuke Urahara. When he was banished from the Soul Society… she went with him, abandoning me in the process." She sunk into a fighting stance then. "Envy the Jealous… do you know the difference between you and me?"
"W-what?" the Sin asked reluctantly.
"I've accepted my jealousy." She then sprinted at shocking speeds towards Envy, who was caught completely off guard by Soi Fon's escape. She slammed a powerful kick into his stomach, making him cough up blood and sending him flying through three buildings before managing to stop himself in midair.
Th-this can't be happening! Envy thought in horror. She's supposed to be a mindless specter giving me power with her own jealousy! This is impossible! Soi Fon appeared before him in a Flash Step, standing in the air, a determined look on her face. Envy's expression soon turned from chock to outrage. "How dare you!?" he shouted. "How dare you defy me!? I'm a god compared to you! You can never defeat me!"
"Care to put that to the test?" Soi Fon replied with a taunting smirk.
That did it. "I'LL END YOU!" the Sin screamed in complete rage. He was soon surrounded by that dark aura again, which soon faded away to reveal his enormous true form. "THIS WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU SEE BEFORE I KILL YOU!"
Soi Fon shook her head in disapproval. "You think size alone would give you an advantage in combat?" She held out her right arm. "You're an amateur." She was soon enveloped in a light green, wind-like aura. "Shunko!" The energy of the Kido/Hakuda hybrid manifested upon her back, turning her into a living typhoon. Then…
"Bankai!" Her arm was swallowed by golden energy as her bankai manifested. She aimed the huge missile at the Sin, who roared and began charging towards her. "I've never used Shunko and Bankai simultaneously before. Let's see what happens." Her weapon then began to glow. "Jakuho Raikoben!" The projectile launched forth, its power magnified by Soi Fon's Shunko.
Envy didn't even think to dodge as the missile approached him. He didn't think it would affect him.
He was wrong. The missile struck his chest full force. The pain he felt from that was beyond intense. What happened after made it feel like a bee sting by comparison. The explosion was three times as large as normal, forcing Soi Fon to leap back several hundred yards. Envy shrieked in pain as the blast devoured him, shattering his demonic form. He tried desperately to shield himself, but in vain.
"NO!" he roared. "THIS… CAN'T… HAPPEN! I CAN'T DIE!" As soon as he said that, his body was utterly disintegrated.
As the explosion cleared away, showing that Envy had been annihilated, Soi Fon sighed in relief. However, she quickly regained her composure and returned to the battlefield. She would have nothing to say regarding Envy's destruction.

Greed leaned back as he watched the battle between demons and Soul Reapers take place. Things seemed to be going pretty damn well. Suddenly, he felt Envy's presence vanish. He chuckled to himself darkly. "Cocky brat probably got himself killed," he said to nobody in particular. "Can't say that surprises me." He then stood and stretched until he felt a few bones pop. "Guess it's about time for me to jump in."
"I could say the same," said a relaxed voice from behind. Greed spun around to see a man in a dark green kimono with a darker green haori and a green-and-white striped fedora. "I thought I felt a strong spiritual pressure around here. I guess you're the guy I'm looking for."
Greed stared at the man, a smirk coming to his face. "Well, how about that," he said. "Someone with the balls to face me. That's a rare little treat for me."
Kisuke Urahara grinned. "Then shall we go at it? I'm actually looking forward to a good tussle."
Greed laughed. "Oh, I like you. I think I'll keep your head as a trophy. And that hat would go nicely one of the other outfits I have back home."
Kisuke drew his zanpakuto from his cane and released his Shikai. "Then let's begin."

Kind of short, I know, but hey, I'm not exactly known for the length of my chapters. Quality over quantity I say.
