** Denial by pride, contradiction by power. ''
Round moon hanging on top of the dark sky. Unknown number of figures can be seen, in front of the main gate of the unknown fortress.
Stranger 1: People, this is it.
All the other strangers grin. They knew this is the time, they are on to something, evil.
Stranger 2: Lord had given us an order, and now, we execute it.
Stranger 3: The girl...
Stranger 4: And Cain...
One of the stranger pushes open the gate just by using his fingertip. Facing them is a vast land of desert. Desert of night seems lonely. All they can see is piles and piles of sand buried underneath their cold feet.
Stranger 5: Let's get going. Gentlemen, and, lady.
Lute Thelpardian, the Chieftain of 9th Division is there too. She has an emotionless face. Jyuro is just standing behind her.
Jyuro: Master, ain't we going to use Fuera?
Lute: Just follow their lead.
Jyuro: .....
The fellowship took off their journey. Danger lies within, but do Ruri and her comrades know what is coming their way?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, at the farm house.
One reiattou swings against another reiattou. Blocking each other as well. It's actually Darucard and Ruri undergoing their training.
Darucard while attacking Ruri: Not fast enough, girl!
And then Ruri djinns behind Darucard and that swing of her reiattou almost got Darucard's backhead but Darucard blocks it just on time by lifting his reiattou to his back.
Darucard: Still slow...
Ruri: Grrrrr!!! Stop provoking me!!!
Right in front of the farm house sits Tetsuo, Colt and Lylford. They are watching the battle.
Colt: She's really putting all her efforts into this.
Lylford: Yeah.
Tetsuo: Where's Cain by the way?
Colt: Don't know.
Lylford: He's still a strange guy. Always off to somewhere else without informing us.
Colt: Let it be.
Then a hard swing of Darucard's reiattou cuts away Ruri's reiattou. Her reiattou flies up to the air and then drop to the ground afterwards.
Ruri: What!?
Darucard: You need more practice, girl.
Ruri: Hmph! Again!
Darucard: As you wish.
Ruri picks up her reiattou and rushes towards Darucard.
Ruri: Rahhhh!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, once again in the Royal Seireitei Palace. Cain is searching for something inside.
Cain: It must be somewhere in this place.
Cain is staring into a limestone wall. It must be made around 100 years ago. He then touches his hand across the wall. Seemingly trying to look for something on the wall. After all it's just a plain and hard limestone wall with nothing on it.
Cain: Hmmm, guess I'm mistaken.
Suddenly there are sounds coming back from behind Cain, rolling of small stones. Looks like someone just walked by the area. Cain immediately raise up his awareness.
A figure is lurking behind Cain. He is observing the movements of Cain as he still trying to figure out something on the limestone wall. Suddenly the figure rushes towards Cain.
Cain instinctly swings turns around while swinging his fist. That punch is block off by a blade. Cain is shocked at what that is standing in front of him.
Cain: A Valrog!?
The stranger is wearing a hood. His face can't be seen as the darkness inside the hood blocks off his face. Holding a blade, not a reiattou. That stranger started attacking Cain.
Cain quickly djinns away from the hallway. The stranger quickly follows behind Cain.
Cain turns around: Kidou of Trapping, Five Star Spin Web.
A crystal web quickly entangles around the walls and floors of the hallway. As the stranger is about to crush into it, he djinns and dodges the web.
Cain: Crap!
The stranger continues his pursuit against Cain in full speed. As Cain finally reaches to the main garden of the palace, the stranger djinns in front of Cain and poiting his blade towards Cain. The tip of the blade stands just right in front of Cain's throat.
The stranger: Surrender.
Cain: No, I won't. You're a Valrog.
The stranger (Valrog): Yes... Follow me and your life will be spare.
Cain: So the Shinigamis had finally succeeded their first plan. Screw you and I won't follow you anyway.
The Valrog: Okay then.
The Valrog started transforming. Something is changing in his body. Unknow fumes and vapours are surrounding him suddenly. Despite his face can't be seen, but his eyes is glowing in red.
Cain: Crap, he is releasing.
The Valrog then screams. And there he is, standing holding his blade. But instead, there are flames surrounding him. And that pair of bloodshoot glowing red eyes.
Cain immediately djinns to the back of the Valrog.
Cain: Kidou of Destruction, Shaking Thunder Cannon.
Cain fires a electrical blast of reiatsu energy towards the Valrog with his barehand. It hits the back of Valrog but the Valrog seems unharmed at all.
The Valrog then swings his blade towards Cain in unbelievable strength. Cain finally summons his reiattou and blocks it off just on time.
The Valrog: You deny your own existence as a Shinigami, you swallow your own pride. And you joined the wrong forces. You're all wrong.
Then the Valrog swings his blade again, this time when it is about to hit Cain's head and Cain is ready to block it. The Valrog suddenly djinns away.
Cain: Huh?!
This time the Valrog is behind Cain. With the fingertip of his blade almost near the forehead of Cain.
The Valrog: You're mine...
