To Salamander's home and Granberia's appearance

Some time later, when Luka and Minagi recovered from the horrifying scene they seen, Solo, Luka, Alice and Minagi walked away from Lady Village.

Solo: Luka, where should we go now?

Luka: Let's go to the volcano!

Minagi: Mh? Why?

Solo: We are gathering the 4 spirits, Luka got 3 of them, and the last one, Salamander, is at the volcano.

Minagi nodded and followed the trio to the volcano.

[This night]

The quartet were camping, Minagi's wings and tail grew back, then she had enough power to create back her magic ribbons and remove Solo's old Espada's outfit, which was really tight to her.

While they were walking, Alice explained why she requested Solo to kill Cassandra personally, which surprised a bit Solo and Luka, while Minagi helped explaining the method to choosing the Monster Lord.

Minagi started to get more friendly with them, raising even more the trio's opinion on her, now they were in friendly terms with her.

Luka was training with Alice this time, to use better his water spirit, while Solo talked about himself and Hueco Mundo to Minagi, who was shocked even more about him.

Minagi: I can't believe I really tried to fight someone like you… First I was surprised from your race because Mistress never knew about something like this, but this… Seriously, a soul eater?

Solo: You will get used with me… I think it's time to sleep…

But before he could get up, he felt an hand over his shoulder, and turned to find Alice who was smiling, but her presence was suggesting otherwise.

Alice: Do you remember what I said at the inn in Grangold?

Solo: ...Oh crap…

Solo tried to escape, but Minagi threw herself at him, blocking his way.

Solo: You…!

Minagi: Sorry Solo, but Alice and I talked about this, we will do it together.

Solo: LUKA! HELP ME!!

Solo yelled but Luka was unconscious from being too tired from training, then Alice put her hands in Solo's shoulders in the ground while Minagi was grabbing his legs, and used her tail to remove his pants while Alice lowered her head to kiss him in his mouth.

Minagi: it was only 1 day, but I already missed this big piece of meat…

Alice then separated her lips from Solo and looked at him in his golden eyes with a grin.

Alice: We will make turns… Hora!

Then they raped him… For 10 hours… During this time, Solo was immobilized from Minagi's strength while Alice distracted him while playing with his body, with time, he was tired enough to not being able to retaliate anymore, and Alice and Minagi started to get even more fun.

[Morning]

Solo, Luka, Alice and Minagi just entered the volcano, Solo still had problems with walking, and was taking deep breaths, as if he had fever, Luka raised an eyebrow at his behavior but shrugged, while Alice and Minagi has satisfied faces.

Luka: Ah… Hot… So Salamander is in this volcano…

Solo: Yeah… Just a bit away from here…

Luka: Are you sure you will be able to go on?

Solo: Don't worry… The heat will not take me down… I'm not so fragile… 'Oh Soul King… 10 hours of rape with two beauties non stop… Why didn't I exploded with the Gran Rey Cero?'

While they were going forward, to meet with Salamander, they encountered monsters, but Solo just covered his arms with Hierro and pushed them away, he was too tired to control his strength so all of them either died or fell unconscious, it didn't matter of it was a Lava Girl, or a Dragon Girl, all of them were taken down with a simple gesture.

Solo: I don't have time to spend with you… C'mon Luka.

Luka just looked everything with a blank face and he, Alice and Minagi followed him.

Some time later of pushing the monsters away, it seems that Salamander herself started to search for them and met together in a random place inside the volcano.

Salamander: What's happening here?!

Solo: Finally I found you, Salamander…

Luka: Eh?! She's Salamander?

Salamander: Yes, that's me, I'm the fire spirit, Salamander. Why are you here, taking down every single monster you encounter?

Solo: The brat wants your power, make this trial fast so I can get back to sleep…

Salamander checked Luka and raised an eyebrow.

Salamander: So you have already Sylph, Gnome and Undine…Alright, brat, show me your strength!

Luka: Yes!

Then Luka and Salamander started fighting each other, the fight was really hard for Luka, until Salamander taught something at Luka, and he used Undine's powers, right at that moment, Solo felt a dangerous presence coming from Luka, and smiled.

Solo: He found it… His instinct…

The fight was going on, and Luka dodged all of Salamander's hits.

Solo: 'He almost entered the Espada levels with that technique… If he had more strength, then he would match the 10th Espada…'

Some time later, Luka was too tired to maintain that technique, and missed the next attack.

Salamander: Heh, so you are able to use it… You pass, Luka. I'll entrust my power of fire to you!

Luka: I… I did it!

Solo: Yeah, now do the contract, I'm getting bored…

Salamander: Tsk… Brats these days don't have respect…

Solo: I never gave respect to anyone in my 1000 years that I still remember, why should I give it to someone weaker than me?

Salamander was pissed off but took deep breaths and turned to Luka, then extended her hand to him, he grabbed it and shook it, then Salamander disappeared, to reappear inside Luka's mind.

Luka: Now, I have all 4 spirits… With this… Finally…!

But he was interrupted from a loud noise. The ground started to shake and vibrate, as of there was an earthquake, but only Luka panicked, while Alice was surprised and Solo and Minagi didn't reacted.

Solo: *Sigh* 'Finally she is coming down…'

Luka: Wh… What the hell?! Is it erupting?!

Alice: No, it isn't… This feeling is…

Then the ceiling above them crashed in the floor, and Granberia appeared.

Granberia: ...It's been awhile, Solo… I trained hard just for being able to fight you… And when I heard that you were coming here, I was excited so I came as fast as possible…

Solo: Yeah, no… I knew you were the whole time over the volcano…

Suddenly, the serious atmosphere was ruined and Granberia's eyebrow twitched

Granberia: C'mon… You can't ruin moments like this…

Solo: Too late, now tell me why you are here, I am tired due to what I was forced to do during night, and I want to sleep.

Granberia: I want to challenge you once again… I even trained like you said, and now I'm confident to be able to fight for some time.

Solo: Well, your power surely grew… and you could even beat the 6th Espada if he doesn't release his zanpakuto…

Alice: 'Release… the zanpakuto...? Is that what Resurreccion should be? And what does it even mean?'

Solo: But…

Solo released some of his reiatsu while making eye contact with Granberia, her back bowed forwards from the pressure and had a small hint of fear from his Hollow eyes.

Solo: Are you able to even make me fight seriously? I think I told you before…

Granberia: Yes, you did, and I challenged myself, if I can't even make you flinch at my attacks, then what sort of Heavenly Knight should I be?!

Solo stood silent, and let her talk.

Granberia: You told me before, I should fight strong opponents to improve myself, and this is exactly what I'm doing.

Solo then started to smile at her words, and said.

Solo: Alright… Since you made me smile at your bravery… If you are able to greatly impress me, and survive for a certain period of time, I'll train you a bit and I'll tell everyone here the secret of my ability as an Arrancar, Resurreccion, right here.

I'm sure many people would like to know what is that ability when they heard me say it.

At his words, Alice and Luka's eyes widened, while Granberia got excited and Minagi raised an eyebrow, she knew a bit about what he was talking about since that was one of the last words before he nuked himself, but Solo's tone started to getting dark.

Solo: But… If you disappoint me… I'll devour your soul in front of the world…

His words, coupled with his Hollow Eyes and show of power many days ago, made her very soul tremble, while Luka, Alice and Minagi froze in their spot remembering the scene, Luka put an hand in his mouth to avoid puking, and gulped it back down.

Granberia hesitated a bit before Solo seen resolution in her eyes and said.

Granberia: I'll accept!
