Chapter 22: The Perverted Captain

"What…What have I done…" muttered Gerard Stalker, the handsome, but extremely perverted, 5th Squad Captain "…I just hit a woman…I'm the worst kind of human being!" he cried as he dropped to his knees. Meanwhile, Shelly, of the Mythical Arrancar Trio got to her feet, winded after the punch that was dealt to her by the Captain

"The hell…I was just about to kill that bitch and take that other dog as my slave…" she muttered, reffering to the Lieuteant and 3rd Seat respectively. "Alright, then It's decided. I'll take both of you dogs after I paint this room with that bitch Lieutenant's blood!" she screamed as she lifted her harp once more, the edge of which was a sharp blade, and ran at the Captain. She swung her blade in a wide arc horizontally, aiming to critically wound the man from the start. However, Gerard lurched back, dodging the attack easily

"I sincerely apologise for punching you before my dear, but I can't allow acts of violence towards my subordinates to go unaba…ba…" he started, trailing off once he lifted his head and got a good look at his opponent for the first time. As Shelly's Ressureccion was based on a Siren, a creature that lured men to their deaths with it's charms, it was obvious that her appearance would be 'revealing' to say the least. The majority of her body was exposed, apart from her torso and slightly below her waist, which were covered as if she were wearing a swimsuit. Her stomach was revealed in a diamond cut shape in her armour and she wore a tiara from the same material as her armour.

"S-S-Sexy!" roared Gerard as a stream of blood came gushing out of his nose. He quickly recovered and ran over to Shelly, bent down on one knee and took her hand

"My dear, I have never seen such a personification of beauty such as yourself. Please, grant me the honour of-" he strted, before he was punted dopwn the hall of the 4th Squad infirmary and into a wall

"Eck! A dirty man touched me!" cried Shelly "Just for that, I won't let you die for at least two days! I'll torture you until death is welcome!"

"Heh…Hehehe…" laughed Gerard as he pulled himself up from the rubble "You like it rough, huh? I can do that" he chuckled as he moved at an astounding speed with the use of Shunpo, and came to a halt just behind Shelly. In an instant he drew his sword and slashed at her. However, she leapt into the air and avoided the attack. In this opening, Gerard took up a rigid stance. He brought his feet together and stood up straight, holding his Zanpakutou parallel with his body

"Stare Lewdly, Erohebi!" he called as the blade was enveloped in a bright light. When the light faded, the sword had transformed from a Japanese Katana into an English Rapier.

"I've decided. If I win this fight, I'll make you my wife!" said Gerard happily "If not, I'll become your slave. I don't really mind either way" he said blissfully as his imagination began to run away again. Shelly took this moment to launch an attack on the Captain. She quickly closed the distance between them and brought her harp down diagonally on Gerard, who was still distracted. The blade cut deep and injured the man. He was forced to the ground, holding the heavily bleeding wound with his free hand.

Miraculously however, Gerard was able to pull himself back to his feet. He then took up a stance commonly used in fencing, despite his serious injury. He placed his left hand, now stained with his own blood, on his waist and pointed his sword at Shelly

"The hell! How are you standing with the big-ass wound!?" asked Shelly

"Heh…Who knows…" spluttered Gerard "You know…They call me…'The Demon of 5th Squad'…You wanna know why?" he asked, before shouting "En Garde" and dashing towards Shelly and launching a series of high speed thrusts and slashes at the woman. She was barely able to block them by using the outer area of her harp to protect herself. Despite the wound on his chest, the onslaught continued. Like a monster, Gerard would not let up on his assault.

"Wh-What the hell is this!?" cried Shelly, fear rising throughout her body, not just from the seemingly impossible barrage of attacks from such an injured man, but from the expression on his face.

He was smiling. Gerard seemed to be enjoying himself as he continued to pelt Shelly with a rain of sword thrusts. In a bid to get some distance, Shelly jumped back, which was what Gerard had been waiting for

"Heh…I win" he muttered as he prepared for a final thrust "Love Sabre!" he called as a pink beam extended from the tip of his sword and pierced Shelly's chest "…I guess you don't get to see why I'm called 'The Demon' after all…"

"…Wha…I…Wh…" were the only sounds that Shelly could muster as she was suspended in the air by the pink blade

"Let me guess…You're trying to ask 'How is this possible' or 'What just happened', right?" asked Gerard, who still suspended her on the end of his lengthened sword "My sword, Erohebi, can adjust its length based on how attracted I am to my opponent. As you can see from him now, I'm madly in love with you!" he said happily. The sword had extended at least three times its original length. The blade returned to normal and Shelly fell to the ground

"I guess this means I get to make you my wife, huh? This is awesome! I get to marry a real cutie!" he laughed, before being forced to the ground from the pain in his chest

"Pfft…Over my…dead body…" muttered Shelly as she quickly opened a portal nearby and fell through.

"No! Wait! Come ba-ACK!" cried Gerard, before the pain increased. He was carried back to a side room by the Captain of the 4th Squad, Rashid Geranium

"Honestly…You must pay more attention to your body. You took a fatal wound and continued as if it were nothing" he sighed as he began to treat the 5th Squad Captain

"It was all…for the cause of love…" grunted Gerard through the pain, before he noticed his subordinates on the beds to either side of him "And for my subordinates. I did say that her actions would go unabated!" he chuckled, before he was paralyzed by both the pain and Rashid's medicine.
