Trex's grip tightened around Kenpachi,
"Hey, wake up little man," Trex growled in his deep oozaru voice, he then shook Kenpachi from side to side, yet Kenpachi remained apparently dazed. Trex threw Kenpachi to the ground and kicked him across the field into a wall, as Trex watched the dust settle around the large dent in the wall around Kenpachi, he then noticed a piece of black material on the floor. There was a slight chinking of bells as Zaraki Kenpachi raised his head to look directly at Trex,
"You've done it now saiyan monkey man," Kenpachi said with a large grin, and Trex noticed that the black material was Kenpachi's eye patch,
"But why would he wear an eye patch if his eye works fine?" Trex thought, then suddenly Kenpachi disappeared from the ground and reappeared in front of Trex's face with his sword held up. Kenpachi swung his sword straight down and cut into the end of Trex's nose and with a roar of pain Trex stepped back clutching his bleeding nose.
"Grrrr, how did you get that boost of power?" said Trex, still holding his nose,
"You had your power boost and I had mine," replied Kenpachi,
"It's his eye patch Trexy, it suppresses Ken-chan's reiatsu while he's wearing it," said a voice directly in Trex's ear,
"Ahhh, where did you come from?" cried Trex turning his head to find Yachiru sitting on his shoulder guard smiling at him,
"Yachiru, get out of the way, I don't want you to get hurt," said Kenpachi motioning with his sword for Yachiru to move away,
"Ok Ken-chan," said Yachiru before sliding down Trex's back and along his tail to the floor and joined the shinigami now cowering in the doorway to the training ground or between the trees on the other side.
As Trex watched Yachiru run off something impacted with the side of his head sending him into a spin.
"Keep your eyes on your opponent," said Kenpachi.
With surprising speed, Trex jumped back to his feet and swung a backhand at Kenpachi, which was blocked by the blade of his zanpakuto. Trex threw punch after punch at Kenpachi, and all were repeatedly blocked either by Kenpachi's hand or the flat of his blade, then with some improvisation Trex flicked his tail and knocked Kenpachi from beneath knocking him off guard giving Trex the chance to slam Kenpachi to the ground once more,
"Wow, you really like to knock me away don't you," Kenpachi said standing back up, "What's wrong? Can't cope with me for to long,"
Trex growled in irritation and kicked at Kenpachi, who jumped and began running up Trex's leg to his chest and took a large swing with his zanpakuto up Trex's kimono, but it did not pierce the saiyan armour underneath. As Kenpachi back flipped off Trex's chest, Trex's fist knocked him far off to the left, Trex threw punch after punch at Kenpachi knocking him further and further back until Kenpachi finally put up a hand and stopped Trex's fist dead. Kenpachi lunged forward and punched Trex straight between the eyes knocking him back a couple of steps. Growling again Trex jumped up and brought his full weight down on Kenpachi under his foot bringing the fight back to ground level, this didn't keep Kenpachi down however and he used another shunpo to slash Trex across his back, Trex retaliated by swinging his tail and catching Kenpachi from behind allowing Trex to again snatch him out of the air and crush Kenpachi in his fist,
"Not so tough now are you," Trex smiled as he slowly put more pressure on Kenpachi trying to make him cry out in pain,
"This has been a good fight, but I have a meeting to get to so I can't play for much longer," said Kenpachi, his smile still as broad as when his eye patch had first fallen off, despite the many blows Trex had dealt him over the battle,
"What? You think you can just end this fight when you want? I'm the one in control here!"
"You're a fool if that's what you think saiyan," said Kenpachi, then he began glowing a yellow gold, this aura then slowly widened Trex's grip before knocking both Trex's hands away.
Kenpachi used amazing speed and knocked Trex from lots of different angles until Trex fell to his knees,
"Time to finish this," said Kenpachi and he soared up to the energy ball that Trex had released, with a quick swing of his zanpakuto the energy dispersed. Without the fiery energy ball in the sky Trex changed back to normal, covered in bruises and a large cut up his nose,
"It's not over yet," said Trex as he tried to stand up.
Kenpachi descended to the ground where Trex was kneeling,
"Yes it is, for now," Kenpachi then struck Trex on the back of the head knocking him out cold.
Kenpachi walked away from Trex, Yachiru hopped onto his back as he walked dragging his zanpakuto along the ground,
"I knew you'd win Ken-chan, Trexy doesn't meet your skill level,"
"I don't know Yachiru, that fight was almost as good as when I first fought Ichigo, If my eye-patch hadn't fallen off he may have won, unless I'd taken it off," Kenpachi put his eye-patch back on and again put on a large grin "I can't wait to fight him again,"
Kenpachi continued to walk out of sight with the eyes of the shinigami in the yard following him.
"That creep wont be so lucky next time,"
All the shinigami suddenly turned to Trex laying on the ground,
"I will get stronger for our next battle," Trex stammered as he slowly stood up
"You're still conscious?" said Ikkaku as Trex pushed through the crowd of astounded onlookers,
"Nothing a short rest wont," Trex paused as a short burst of pain shot through him, "Wont solve,"
"You really are a strong one considering you're not a true shinigami," said Yumichika appearing at Trex's side,
"Leave me alone, and those peacock feathers make you look stupid," said Trex moving past Yumichika as though he was a ghost, which technically being a shinigami, he was,
Yumichika wailed at Trex's comment, "How dare you say such a hurtful thing about my stylish appearance, you just don't understand what true style is,"
Trex turned and gave Yumichika a stare that made him turn pail and shrink back behind Ikkaku.
"Konnichiwa Trex-kun," said someone in front of Trex,
"Huh?" Trex faced forward to see the familiar face of Hanataro Yamada smiling at him, "You're the scum who stabbed me and brought me to this world, what are you doing here?"
"Ah, yes, I'm sorry about that, anyway I was told that medical assistance would be needed here since Kenpachi was fighting someone," said Hana', his smile now gone he was bowing apologetically,
"Fine, heal me, as long as I can get some rest," said Trex sitting on the doorway step,
"Hai, just hold still," said Hana' taking a vial out of his satchel.
The rest of the day passed slowly for Trex, as he focussed on his defeat from Kenpachi Ikkaku repeatedly yelled at him for not concentrating on his technique and form during drills. When night came Trex couldn't sleep in his single room, so he stared at the ceiling as he continued to brood over his two losses against Kenpachi.
"My current power level is not enough, I have to get stronger, but how?"
A hard object hit Trex in the head causing to cry out in pain,
"What the hell?" then Trex looked at the rock laying on the ground and saw it had a note tied to it, he undid the string and read the note,
"Saiyagami, if you wish to get stronger then come to the flat-top hill in the centre of seireitei tonight, and don't forget your zanpakuto," Trex didn't hesitate and immediately jumped out of the window the rock had flown through,
"Any chance to get stronger... I'll take it,"
It took at least half an hour of soaring around the sky but Trex finally decided to begin flying towards a small group of towering structures that were most likely to be the middle of soul society. Once closer Trex saw a flat plateau next to the towering buildings with a deep cut in the ground towards the end furthest from the buildings, no one appeared to be waiting for him so Trex simply landed and sat on the unnaturally flat ground,
"This isn't funny!" Trex yelled out to the emptiness as he looked around,
"On the contrary, I find a man shouting at nothing quite hilarious," came a voice from no obvious direction,
"Who's there?" said Trex standing up and looking round again,
"Just the friendly neighbourhood cat," said the voice, Trex felt something brush against his leg and looked down to find a black cat rubbing itself against his leg,
"What are you?" asked Trex stepping back away from the cat,
"Like I said, I'm the neighbourhood cat," the cat replied, its golden eyes staring into Trex's dark ones,
"And you expect to train me to become stronger?"
"Yes, if you truly wish to increase your power you will do exactly as I tell you,"
