Next comes one of Aizen's stories. Yay for bilingual stories! Well, this on is confusing, but I completely amazing. It would be called El Escudo de la Espada, which means "The shield of the sword". Could be fun.
Wow, I really think way too much during Spanish class.
"Some of the most brilliant ideas come from simply letting your mind wander though." A mocking smile was directed at the Narrator as el primero escudo appeared out of nowhere.
Jesus! Don't scare me like that…
Brushing back her long, curly, black hair, she grinned even wider. "Ah, lo siento, niña.(1) I didn't mean to startle you. I'm simply here to explain my story to the readers." Narrowing her bright blue eyes toward the audience, she cleared her throat. "Me llamo Adelita.(2) I am el primero escudo, the leader of the other group of arrancar created by Aizen Sōsuke. As our name suggests, we were created to defend the espada. Aizen-sama once told us, "Cinco escudos para protegerán mis diez espadas como yo subo al cielo."(3) And so, my sisters and I will protect them with our very lives."
I see. Sounds like…uh…fun? Alright, before we get this story started, I wanna make sure that anyone who's confused by the random bilingual-ness of the story knows that there will be a Spanish/English guide at the end. Also, to anyone better at languages than me, forgive me for any mistakes I make! I am learning.
"And now that that's done, ¡vamos!(4)
Darkness filled the world. It was an endless darkness at that. There was no way to see the end, nor a way to find the beginning. After so long, everything that once was just seemed to be forgotten. But that was when he came…
Light filled bright blue eyes, it was almost painful after so long in darkness. "Come now, dear one. What is your name?"
Focus finally coming back to her, she looked up into the eyes of what had to be a god. "Adelita…"
He smirked down at her, brushing some of her hair out of her eyes. "Adelita, you may call me Aizen-sama. You are el primero escudo, you will be the shield of my sword, and you will do great things."
"Como desee. Todos granizo Aizen-sama."(5) From that moment onward, her life would be filled with light.
"Adelita-sama!"
A wide smile spread across soft, pink lips as Adelita turned to find her fracción running towards her. Opening her arms, she let him jump into her grasps. "Ay, ¡mijo!(6) How are you today, Uren?"
Smiling brightly at his master, Rochette Uren pulled up the weapon he was carrying. "I stole Nnoitra-san's weapon!"
"Now now, mijo, you shouldn't steal things from the espada, we're supposed to be protecting them." She scolded, setting down her small fracción. "Go; return Santa Teresa to Jiruga-san now."
Before Uren could move even one step, Nnoitra had already shown up, looking rather angry at that. "Where's that fuckin' brat?" He spat, glaring at the small boy hiding behind his master.
Ignoring that comment, Adelita plucked the weapon from her underling and handed it to la quinta, a mocking smile stuck on her features. "Please excuse Uren, he meant no harm, Jiruga-san. Here is Santa Teresa, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
Snatching his weapon from her grasps, he sneered. "I'll take you down!" He then pulled back his weapon, jumping at the primero to attack her.
"Brille su luz, eterna sol."(7) A blinding light appeared between the espada and the escudo, the light repelling the attack launched by la quinta. As the light cleared she flashed a mocking smile toward the spoon hooded espada. "Que no era muy inteligente, Jiruga-san.(8) I don't think you should attack escudo whenever you feel like it."
"Shut the fuck up!!" Nnoitra shouted, pulling himself from the wall he had been embedded into. Holding his weapon up to attack her again, he glared daggers at her. "I'll kill you…"
Flicking her wrist in his direction, she pointed her fingers at him. "Ser cegados por la luz."(9) A light glowed over the tips of her fingers, slowly swallowing her hand in the light, which was then fired at Nnoitra, piercing him through the chest.
"Shit!" Cursing loudly as he was knocked back, la quinta found himself trapped against the wall, pinned by the light.
"You are trying my patience, Jiruga-san. I will leave you there for a while, I'll be back later to release you from that, and hopefully then you'll be done with this need to fight anything that moves. I understand you miss Oderschvank-san…"
Nnoitra struggled with his binds. "I don't miss that bitch!! I wanted to kill her!!!"
Adelita simply ignored his comments and continued. "…but you brought that upon yourself."
"Adelita-sama, the meeting with the other escudo is going to start soon." Uren added, tugging on her arm to get her attention.
"Paciencia, mijo…"(10) Turning a contemptuous smile to the trapped espada, she bowed. "Forgive me for leaving so suddenly, but I have things to see too. I'll be back, Jiruga-san." And with that Adelita and Uren both disappeared.
An obnoxiously loud sigh was heard from the large table four women were all seated at. "Where's Adelita? She's never late. And I was busy talking with Halibel."
"All you ever care about is Halibel-san, Carnette. Aren't you supposed to care for the other espada as well?" The brunette commented, placing her feet on the table and leaning back in her chair.
Carnette seemed offended by the comment and glared at the woman. "Like you're one to talk, Arnice! You don't seem to care about any of them at all! Halibel is simply the kindest of them all, so I enjoy her company the most!"
While the brunette and silver haired girl continued arguing about who cared for what espada, the other two simply shook their heads. "Why do Carnette-tan and Arnice-tan always fight, Sophitia-tan?" The smaller of the two asked curiously.
"Because they've got too much time on their hands, Layra-chan."
Guide to Spanish:
(1) Sorry, girl.
(2) My name is Adelita.
(3) Five shields will protect my ten swords as I rise to the sky.
(4) Let's go!
(5) As you wish. All hail Aizen-sama.
(6) My son! [Mi hijo is how it literally should be written, but it can be shortened to mijo.]
(7) Shine your light, eternal sun. [Escudo have resurreción as well, but instead of using a sword they just need to call forth their power.]
(8) That was not very smart, Jiruga-san.
(9) Be blinded by the light. [Escudo use sayings to attack accompanied with small motions.]
(10) Patience, my son.
And that's all I got for that one. Except for a bunch of random notes. But those are for my eyes only.
