Desire for Revenge II

"Lelouch," Kallen said in her head.

"Captain Kenjima," Akiro said.

"Unbelievable," Lelouch said with a sigh, "Kallen, you have nothing to really prove and Akiro, you are out of line and I've had enough. This is pointless and there is no need for two of my subordinates to fight each other right now."

"But—" Kallen spoke.

"That would be my initial response but considering what's been going and what I've been hearing from the two of you," Lelouch interjected, "I think it will be just fine. The duel between the two of you will take place tomorrow and I know just the place within the Seireitei where we can take place."

"Thank you Captain," Kallen said with a smile.

"Good and when I win, I hope you will reconsider on some of the decisions you have made Captain and not overlooking senior members," Akiro said with confidence.

"Really?" Lelouch replied, "I hope you weren't referring to yourself Akiro because if you are, then I have to say that you have not shown me anything."

"What?" Akiro replied surprised.

"You think that just because you're in the division longer than even myself that you should be automatically be moved up?" Lelouch scoffed, "I've been observing on how you've been doing and you have shown nothing for me to even consider."

"Captain Kenjima," Akiro said with a growl.

"Oh, are you taking that tone with me?" Lelouch responded, "Well, there is one other thing that I want to mention."

"What is it?" Kallen asked.

"I'll allow the condition and add another condition," Lelouch said, "should Kallen lose, she'll no longer be a 4th Seat and will be a 6th Seat with Akiro taking the 4th Seat."

"I see…" Kallen said.

"Okay," Akiro said with his mood changed to being delighted.

"However though," Lelouch said staring at Akiro, "Akiro, if you lose, I will have you transferred out of the 10th Division."

Akiro and Kallen were shocked and Akiro couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"A-Are you serious?" Akiro asked still shocked.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Lelouch replied.

"But why?" Akiro asked.

"Why you ask?" Lelouch responded, "Well, it's like I said, you have shown nothing. You talk big, you boast going on about how you were the top of your class in the academy or how you've been in this division longer and yet with all your talk, you have shown nothing to back it up, you don't do much or you do half of work when it comes to training that you get assigned and I'm tired of waiting for you to get with it. The others are moving forward and getting better but you remain and yet you complain about me playing favoritism."

"Wait—" Akiro spoke surprised.

"Oh yes, I'm well aware," Lelouch interjected again, "I'm well aware of the ranting and complaining you do about the lieutenant and 3rd Seat especially."

Akiro looked away and couldn't believe that Lelouch was well aware about it and wondered how he knew.

"The way I see right now," Lelouch continued, "I see no point in continuing to deal with you Akiro and frankly with what I've been observing for months, there at least a few people who are more deserving to be the 6th Seat than you are and if you won't get better here, then there's no point for you to continue to be in the 10th Division."

"That is not true," Akiro said upset.

"Oh really?" Lelouch said with a raised eyebrow, "You expect me to believe you?"

"It's the truth," Akiro strongly replied, "I am not weak."

"I didn't say you're weak," Lelouch replied, "but your attitude stinks, it shows and I'm fed up with it."

"I am getting better myself and I'm not all talk at all," Akiro responded back getting a bit heated.

"Hmph, if you really believe that, then you better prove it to me tomorrow," Lelouch said, "and if you lose, I'll have you transferred to another division. Maybe you'll have better luck there."

Akiro clenched his teeth and quickly left. Kallen and Lelouch just looked on as the 6th Seat walked off angrily. Kallen glanced over to Lelouch and decided to speak.

"L-Lelouch, I—" Kallen spoke.

Lelouch suddenly placed his hand on Kallen's shoulder and Kallen was surprised as she looked at Lelouch and saw that he was giving Kallen a warm smile.

"Don't worry about it," Lelouch said happily, "and besides, it is a good opportunity to prove that you earned your seat."

"Lelouch," Kallen said and then she blushed and smiled, "thank you."

"My pleasure," Lelouch said, "Kallen, I'm going to be taking a stroll in the Seireitei. Would like to accompany me?"

Kallen was amazed and then she smiled and nodded, "I'd love to."

"Great, let's go," Lelouch said happily.

"Okay," Kallen replied happily.

Lelouch and Kallen went to the other way and headed out of the barracks and they were seen by Euphie who smiled as she liked what she saw and Shirley was with her as well and while she was happy to see Kallen and Lelouch get along so well, she felt a gnawing feeling and she placed her hands over her chest and clenched her hands a bit.

Shin'o Academy

Todoh was out in the field and had his eyes closed. He got in his stance and placed his hand on the hilt of his sheathed katana. In front of Todoh was four thin wooden poles and then Todoh quickly drew his sword and cut the four thin wooden poles in half. He cut them evenly and with precision. Todoh opened his eyes and was pleased with what he saw.

"All right," Todoh said, "on to the next thing."

Amihama, Human World

Clovis had just dodged a fast attack from the dragon masked Hollow. The Hollow was relentless and continued to target Clovis.

"5th Seat!" One of the officers yelled.

The other officers looked on as well worried for Clovis. Clovis jumped in the air and held his Zanpakuto.

"Pierce," Clovis said, "Kesshomaru!"

Clovis's Zanpakuto was activated and the dragon masked Hollow charged towards Clovis again. Clovis swung his Kesshomaru and the Hollow blocked the attack with its right arm.

"You destroyed everything," The Hollow said angrily and with hate, "you killed us in Shinjuku and all because you saw us less than human. You damn Britannian, did you really felt the need to slaughter us in Shinjuku?!"

"I…" Clovis spoke as he thought about the decision he made when he was Viceroy and wanting to make sure that people didn't know about CC and clenched his teeth as he glared at the Hollow, "I don't need to explain myself to you!"

The Hollow growled as the spiritual creature got more irritated.

"I should have expected that response from you," The Hollow said, "typical Britannian. Fine, don't tell me. I'll just kill you!"

"We'll see about that!" Clovis declared.

Clovis slashed on the arm that the Hollow used to block his blade and crystal formed and sprung from the wound and the Hollow screamed in pain.

"Ha! How do you like that?" Clovis spoke with confidence, "My Zanpakuto, Kesshomaru crystallizes the wounds I make with my blade."

"Damn you!" The green dragon masked Hollow responded.

"I'm not done," Clovis said and then he swung Kesshomaru, "Hahenrenpatsu!"

Clovis created a line and a barrage of crystal shards were shot and struck the Hollow and the Hollow screamed in pain and was bleeding.

"Hollows are human souls that stay in the Human World too long and in the process of trying to set out for whatever goals are or holding a grudge," Clovis said, "they end up changing. I honestly didn't think it would happen in our world. So tell me, how on earth did you become a Hollow?"

"What the hell are you asking me?" The Hollow replied.

"If you were from this Human World, I wouldn't have asked," Clovis said, "but you're from our world and all souls that die end up in the place called C's World spending our afterlives there so tell me, how did you end up as a Hollow?"

"I have no idea what the hell you're talking about," The dragon masked Hollow replied, "and I don't see why that matters. The only thing that matters is that is you dying by my hands. I will kill you Clovis and make you pay for the heinous acts you committed."

"Hmph, if you don't know then fine," Clovis replied as he readied his Zanpakuto, "however you can't beat me. You can die again with regret of challenging me."

"Don't be so sure," The Hollow said.

The dragon masked Hollow released its reiatsu and it was intense as it surprised Clovis and the other members of the 7th Division. The Hollow continued to raise its reiatsu and the Hollow was able to force the crystal shards out of its body. Clovis was shocked and then he saw something else and that was dark red energy on the wounds that Hollow received from Clovis's attacks were healing. Clovis was shocked and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"It can't be!" Clovis said shocked, "You can heal your wounds?"

"Regeneration," The Hollow said, "it what I posses, healing any wounds that I receive," The Hollow finished regenerating and stretched its arms, "do you see now Clovis la Britannia? I am not a typical Hollow that you Shinigami are used to facing. I'm an exception. I am the Hollow on the side of justice."

"The side of justice?" Clovis spoke as he couldn't believe what he just heard and pointed at the Hollow, "You are a Hollow! You're a corrupt spirit that exists to prey and devour human souls in order for you to just fill the void."

"No, I'm sure I can be better than that and right now, what I desire is your death to avenge myself and the people of Shinjuku," The Hollow rebuked, "no, now that I am what I am and what I can do, I could pretty much go after all Britannians for all the heinous and callous acts you people did to us Japanese for the period of seven years."

"Y-You…" Clovis said.

"With this, you can't kill me," The Hollow said, "now it's time for you to know what it feels like to be powerless and helpless."

"Never!" Clovis responded loudly and swung his Zanpakuto again, "Hahenrenpatsu!"

Another barrage of crystal shards charged towards the Hollow and the creature quickly dodged the attack by flying up in the air flapping its wings. The Hollow descended towards Clovis and crashed on the ground. Clovis had used Shunpo to dodge and reappeared in the air and Clovis looked for the Hollow.

"Where are you looking at?" The Hollow asked.

Clovis was shocked and found the Hollow was right behind him and before Clovis could react, the dragon masked Hollow struck Clovis with its claws. Clovis was stunned as he was wounded and blood spilled out of his body. Clovis fell and hit the ground hard.

"Oh no, 5th Seat!" One of the 7th Division members spoke loudly.

The other 7th Division members looked on mortified seeing what had just happened to their fellow member. The Hollow descended on and pinned Clovis harder on the ground with its right hand causing Clovis to screaming in pain.

"That's right," The Hollow said, "how does it feel?"

Clovis continued to scream in pain.

"You feel despair with pain," The Hollow continued, "You feel powerless, don't you? You wonder why this is happening, right?"

Clovis stopped screaming and tried to get away and ignore the pain he was feeling. The Hollow was suddenly struck by Kido and the Hollow and Clovis looked over and saw the other officers of the 7th Division rushing towards them. One got ahead using Shunpo and reappeared and slashed the Hollow's arm and another 7th Division officer struck the Hollow's leg. The Hollow was caught off guard and released its hold on Clovis. This was the opening for the rest to get Clovis and retreat.

"Hey, stop!" The Hollow demanded but when the creature saw that they were retreating taking Clovis with them, the Hollow got upset, "Why? Why are they bothering in helping him? Don't they realize that he's a mass murderer? Are they that stupid…or are they his loyal dogs?" The Hollow growled in anger, "No, I suppose it can't be helped. I suppose it is Shinigami helping other Shinigami after all, no matter who they are."

The Hollow healed itself again. Elsewhere, Marika and Lilianna were watching the dragon masked Hollow.

"Former Prince Clovis can't do much against that Hollow," Lilianna said.

"After he kills Clovis, maybe we can get that Hollow to go after Former Princess Euphemia," Marika said, "in fact, that Hollow can probably even kill Zero."

Meanwhile, the members of the 7th Division continue to make their retreat carrying the bleeding Clovis with them. They were worried since Clovis was still bleeding and they went to an area to stop there. One of the members was using a healing Kido to heal up Clovis and Clovis thanked him.

"Just hang on 5th Seat la Britannia," One of the 7th Division officers said.

"Still though," Another 7th Division member said, "what is with that Hollow?"

"I don't know," Another officer said, "it's stronger than any of the Hollows I've fought."

"5th Seat, what is going on?" The officer healing Clovis asked, "Do you know that Hollow and what did Hollow mean about you ordering a massacre?"

Clovis was silent and frowned.

Flashback: Bridge of the G-1 Mobile Base, Shinjuku Ghetto 2017atb

Clovis was sitting on his throne within the bridge and hearing Bartley speaker through communications.

"They got away?" Bartley asked angrily, "And you call yourselves the Royal Guard?"

"Forgive me my lord," The Leader of the Royal Guard replied on the other line, "the blast was mainly directed upward—"

"You fool, why the hell do you think I only told you people about this?" Bartley interrupted.

"We-we'll continue the investigation," The Royal Guard leader assured.

"The plan has moved forward to the next phase," Clovis said suddenly.

Bartley was surprised and turned to face Clovis, "B-But Your Highness…"

"If knowledge of her gets out, I'll be disinherited," Clovis pointed out, "tell them back home that we're carrying out a plan of urban renewal here," Clovis stood up from his throne, "as Clovis la Britannia, Third Prince of the Empire I command you, destroy Shinjuku Ghetto, leave no one alive!"

Clovis looked on when he gave the order and Britannian soldiers and Knightmare Frames moved in the Shinjuku Ghetto and starting gunning the people down.

Flashback End

Clovis continued to frown.

"5th Seat," One of the officers called, "5th Seat!"

"Huh?" Clovis replied getting out of his train of thought, "Oh, y-yes," Clovis frowned again, "sorry…"

The officer who was healing Clovis stopped and sighed, "This is the best I can do. I was able to stop the bleeding but your injuries…"

"It's fine," Clovis said, "the fact you were able to stop the bleeding is excellent," Clovis had his thoughts, "if Euphie was here, I sure she would be able to fix me up real good…oh well."

"5th Seat la Britannia," One of the officers spoke, "What did that Hollow mean about you ordering a massacre?"

"Yeah, what was that Hollow talking about?" The officer that healed Clovis added.

"Hey, it's not true, is it?" Another officer asked, "You can be a narcissist sometimes yeah…"

"Hey!" Clovis responded.

"But surely you're not someone who kills indiscriminately, right?" The officer continued.

"5th Seat…" Another officer spoke.

Clovis looked at his fellow officers and looked away as he stood up while still in pain and gripped on the hilt of his Kesshomaru.

"Right now, we need to do something about that Hollow," Clovis said, "it's our duty as Shinigami to purify Hollows after all."

"5th Seat, you—" One of officers spoke.

"Too bad," The Hollow said suddenly.

The members of the 7th Division were surprised and one of the officers was stabbed by the dragon masked Hollow who suddenly appeared. Clovis and the others were shocked as the claw stabbed Shinigami was wide eyed.

"Ueda!" One of the shocked officers yelled.

The officer called Ueda was thrown and fell on the ground.

"Damn you," The officer who healed Clovis said angrily, "You bastard!"

The enraged officer drew his sword and charged towards the Hollow.

"No Morita, don't!" Clovis yelled.

The officer named Morita yelled as he continued to charge toward the creature and the Hollow quickly countered and shredded Morita and then the Hollow quickly consumed Morita. Clovis looked on mortified at what just happened.

"N-No," Clovis said, "Ueda…Morita."

"Too bad," The Hollow said as he went and ate up Ueda as well.

"You damn Hollow!" Another officer said who became enraged.

"You bastard," The other enraged officer said, "you think you can eat our comrades and get away with it?!"

"Wait Matsui, Seo!" Clovis spoke.

"5th Seat, you're in no condition to fight," The officer named Seo spoke.

"I suggest you retreat sir," The officer named Matsui said, "retreat and don't look back."

"Ohta, take la Britannia and get out of here," Seo said.

"Okay," The officer named Ohta replied with a nod and walked over to Clovis, "la Britannia, we need to go."

"Wait, this is—" Clovis spoke.

The Hollow opened its mouth and shot a dark red fiery breath towards the officers. The dark red flame erupted and Seo and Matsui were up in the air. Ohta was also in the air carrying Clovis. The Hollow was also in the air flapping its wings and Matsui and Seo readied their swords and Matsui fired a Kido spell. Ohta was carrying Clovis as they landed on the ground and was retreating and Clovis was horrified in what was happened.

"How?" Clovis said upset, "How could this happen? I couldn't do anything against that Hollow. The damn Hollow is strong and so quick."

"5th Seat," Ohta said with concern.

There were two loud screams of anguish and Ohta stopped as he and Clovis looked back.

"Those screams…" Clovis said mortified again.

"That was…Seo and Matsui," Ohta said, "no but that mean…"

"They weren't much of a challenge," The Hollow said suddenly.

Clovis and Ohta was shocked and they turned and saw the Hollow who mouth was dripping with blood and there were also blood on its claws.

"H-How?" Clovis said shaking, "I didn't even feel your reiatsu when you approached us…just like earlier?"

"That doesn't matter now," The Hollow said cracking its fists, "now does it?"

The Hollow got near Clovis and Ohta was speed and punched the ground forcing the two Shinigami to separate from each other.

"Ohta!" Clovis yelled.

"la Britannia, I—" Ohta spoke.

Ohta was cut off when the Hollow appeared behind him and impaled him in the back with its claws and Ohta screamed with his eyes bugged out.

"Ohta!" Clovis yelled.

Clovis had just witness what just happened and was also was forced to witness the Hollow chew off Ohta's upper body first and then he tear off the rest of Ohta's body and consumed him. The Hollow sighed after consuming Ohta and Ohta's blood was splattered on the Hollow and the ground.

"Heh, I just ate five Shinigami," The Hollow said, "They weren't much," The Hollow then turned its sights on Clovis, "now it's just me and you Clovis la Britannia."

"Damn you," Clovis said still shaking and horrified, "damn you to hell!"

"Hmph, the only who will be damned to hell is you Clovis," The Hollow responded.

Clovis, for the time since becoming a Shinigami was shaking in fear.

"I'm doomed," Clovis said in his head scared, "Am I going to die? Am I going to get killed like the others?" Clovis clenched his teeth, "No, I can't die! I refuse to die!"

Clovis got in his stance shaking and readied his Kesshomaru and Hollow just looked on and narrowed its eyes at Clovis.

"How does it feel?" The Hollow asked.

"What?" Clovis responded.

"Such an unpleasant feel, isn't it?" The Hollow said, "Fear…fearing for your life."

Clovis flinched at what was said.

"That how it was for us," The Hollow said, "because you damn Britannians disregarded the lives of the Japanese and all because you considered us less than human. I don't know why you decided to order the massacre in Shinjuku but I guess you did it out of a whim or perhaps you just got a sick joy to killing innocent people…regardless it's time for you to finally pay for what you've done."

Meanwhile, Lilianna and Marika were watching in glee with their evil grins.

"Look at Clovis," Marika said with joy, "shaking in fear."

"That Hollow is indeed strong," Lilianna said with joy, "if only we had that Hollow with us seven years ago, it would have been easy for us and we wouldn't have lost."

"Indeed," Lilianna said with a nod.

"And now Clovis will die," Marika said, "this is the price for shameless traitors."

Back with Clovis and the dragon masked Hollow, Clovis still shaking in fear at the fact that Hollow had just killed and ate his fellow officers and the intense reiatsu he was displaying which overwhelmed him as well as the fact that his attack didn't faze or even slow him down.

"I don't stand a chance," Clovis said in his head still shaking in fear, "I should run…no, there's no point, he'll catch up to me in no time…but what do I do?"

Clovis also thought about when he begged Lelouch his life before he was killed and his time from the Shin'o Academy and years he has been a Shinigami and of being a member of the Gotei 13's 7th Division and how hard he had trained and earned his way up and the confidence that his captain, Love Aikawa had for him. Clovis also thought the things that Lelouch and Euphie had said to him in the past and the response that Clovis gave to them.

"No," Clovis said in his head clenching his teeth, "I'm the 5thSeat of the 7thDivision! I've been doing something I never believed that I would do in the past. I did not work my way up just to run. No, I'm better than that!"

"Are you done making peace with yourself?" The Hollow asked, "Because it's time for your demise."

"The one who will die is you!" Clovis said as he widened his eyes and decided to attack, "You'll regret trying to kill me, Clovis la Britannia!"

The Hollow roared loudly and charged full speed toward Clovis.

"Hahenrenpatsu!" Clovis yelled as he swung his Zanpakuto.

"You fool!" The dragon masked Hollow said, "That won't do you any good!"

The Hollow was able to swat all the crystal shards and when Clovis saw that the Hollow had both arms stretched out to swat away the crystal shards, Clovis brought out his left hand towards the Hollow.

"Bakudo#4: Hainawa!" Clovis spoke.

The Kido held the Hollow's right arm and caught the Hollow off by surprised and Clovis quickly followed up with another Kido.

"Bakudo#61: Rikukojoro!" Clovis spoke.

Six beams of light struck the Hollow's midsection and the Hollow was surprised again.

"No!" The Hollow screamed.

Clovis used Shunpo and then he reappeared behind the Hollow in the air and was about to stab the Hollow in the back of its neck.

"Yes, I got him!" Clovis thought.

The Hollow suddenly turned its head and stared straight at Clovis.

"Is that all?" The Hollow asked, "Too bad."

Clovis was shocked as the Hollow quickly opened its mouth and spewed out the dark red fiery breath and caught Clovis. Clovis screamed in pain and was forced back and fell and hit the ground and while suffering the burns from the attack. Clovis writhed in pain from the burns with his Shihakusho a bit tattered from the breath attack. The Hollow chuckled and as it was able to break me from the binding Kido and turned directly to Clovis.

"That was actually a good try," The Hollow said, "but not enough to stop me," The Hollow cracked its fists and readied its claws, "it's time to end this now Clovis la Britannia."

Clovis willed himself to get up on his feet while gripping his Zanpakuto.

"Finally, the people of Shinjuku will be avenged!"The Hollow said loudly, "Die!"

The Hollow got close to Clovis and lunged its sharp claws towards him.

"D-Damn it!" Clovis spoke as his eyes widened.

Marika and Lilianna were at a safe distance and grinning with glee as they were sure that Clovis was going to die.

"Farewell, Your Highness," Marika and Lilianna said in unison.

Blood splattered in the air and on the ground with Clovis was still wide eyed. He looked over to his Zanpakuto and saw that the blade of his Kesshomaru was shattered.

10th Division Barracks, Seireitei

Akiro was meeting with Hideyasu and four other officers of the 10th Division in the room and Hideyasu was shaking his head in what Akiro just said.

"Damn it," Hideyasu said, "I should have known you were going to do something stupid."

"It's not stupid Hideyasu," Akiro replied, "It's really a perfect opportunity. I will prove Captain Kenjima wrong."

"But if you lose, you'll have to leave the division," A male Shinigami said.

Akiro looked over to the male Shinigami that spoke and the one that spoke had black hair that went to his shoulders and blue eyes and he wore glasses.

"Saito," Akiro said, "do you really have no faith in me?"

"Nope, none at all," The female Shinigami who had long blonde hair that went to her upper back and had green eyes spoke with a shrug.

Akiro got annoyed and turned to the blonde woman, "I wasn't talking to you Ohana."

"Booo," Ohana responded making a face at Akiro.

"Akiro, there is still time for you to back out," The tall Shinigami said who had shaved brown hair and gray eyes.

Akiro frowned and shook his head, "I'm not backing out of this Takumi."

"Just what hell are you trying to prove?" The female Shinigami said who had green hair that was tied with a braided ponytail and brown eyes, "Are you seriously so jealous that you have to make a fool of yourself?"

"Have you not been listening Emi?" Akiro asked.

"Oh I have and all I can say you're just doing this out of your own vanity," Emi said, "it's so typical of you. You're just jealous of the 4th Seat because she just that better than you."

"You know it will be unfortunate if you have to transfer to another division," Saito said.

"Listen Akiro," Hideyasu said, "call off the duel."

"Call off the duel?" Akiro replied annoyed at such a suggestion.

"Yeah, call it off," Hideyasu strongly insisted, "go to Captain Kenjima and call it off and give any reason that will make him happy and assure him that you will get better here in the 10th Division. Listen, none of us really wants you to leave."

"Hmph, speak for yourself," Emi spoke, "I myself am fed up of this spoiled moronic brat."

"Hey!" Akiro said with growl while glaring at Emi.

Hideyasu looked at Emi and sighed and then back to Akiro, "Okay, almost all of us here don't want you leave."

"That won't happen," Akiro said, "I'll win and prove what I've been saying. Now I have to get prepared for tomorrow. I'll see you guys later."

Akiro left and the others couldn't believe what was going on.

"This is so stupid," Emi said and left.

Ohana placed her hands behind her head and looked over to Hideyasu.

"So what now Hideyasu?" Ohana asked.

Hideyasu frowned and sighed as he shook his head while Takumi and Saito were both thinking that it was unfortunate that one of their friends going on the path that he was taking.

Valley of Screams

In the rocky area, Kajiro was facing Mao who was pointing his Zanpakuto at him and was not amused in what was going on.

"Mao, what the hell are you doing?" Kajiro asked glaring at Mao.

"I've decided something Kajiro," Mao replied calmly, "it's clear to me that you have no intention in helping me reunite with CC and that everything you have said to me all these years has been nothing but a lie. Well, I'm fed up so I'm not going to take orders from you any longer. Kajiro, I'm going to take my Geass back from you and be together with CC on my own."

Kajiro clenched his teeth but then stay calm, "Mao, let's talk about this. You're rushing. Look, just go back to the Seireitei, plead your case and explain that you had a lapse in judgment and—"

"Forget it," Mao interrupted, "it won't fly with them anyway since I left without permission and frankly, I don't give a damn."

"Mao listen," Kajiro said, "we worked long and hard to have things set in place. You don't need to ruin things for yourself just because you're frustrated."

Mao sighed and he closed his eyes, "The hell with it…I'm taking my Geass back. I'm done," Mao opened his eyes with determination, "Distort, Oborome!"

Mao activated the power of his Zanpakuto and Kajiro was wide eyed.

"Mao, you bastard!" Kajiro yelled.

The Next Day, Seireitei, Soul Society

In the old stadium, several members of the 10th Division were there as a duel was about to take place. Kallen and Akiro faced each other ready to duel. Lelouch, Euphie, Shirley, as well as Hideyasu and the others that Akiro spoke with yesterday were going to witness the duel from the stands. The 6th Seat and the 4th Seat drew their swords and got in their stances. Lelouch looked at both of them and nodded.

"All right then," Lelouch said, "Begin!"

Kallen and Akiro charged towards each other and clashed the blades of their Zanpakuto with intensity. Kallen and Akiro went back and forth with clashing their swords. Akiro tried to gain the upper hand on the early going but Kallen was able to stop his early momentum and counter his attacks, much to Akiro's surprise and dismay. Akiro clenched his teeth and stepped back. Kallen was just calm and got in her stance and was ready for anything the 6th Seat would try to throw at her.

"No," Akiro said, "not yet. We're just getting started."

"Then get on with then," Kallen responded, "Bring it Nakamura."

"Tch, cocky woman," Akiro thought angrily, "I'll show her!"

On the other side of the old stadium, Gin was watching the duel that going on between Kallen and Akiro with his same signature smile.

"What is Kallen really doing?" Gin asked himself, "That guy she's fighting isn't really much. He's no competition at all against her."

Gin looked on as Akiro attacked and Kallen countered all of his moves. Gin then looked over to the Captain of the 10th Division.

"So that's him," Gin said with his mocking grin, "so that's Captain Kenjima, one of the guys that Lieutenant Aizen finds interesting."

That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: The conclusion and the aftermaths.
