To the Arrancar Vincent stands surrounded by his iridescent reiasu,his power of destruction as the God King. To the Togabito, he sees not Vincent the Arrancar, nor Vincent the God King — no,before him stands only Vincent the convict...Vincent, the fugitive.
This fugitive who calls himself King, stands defiantly before his would be jailer. The entirety of the Hueco Mundo shudders beneath the majesty of Vincent’s power. He offers no words to the Togabito sent to retrieve him, sent to return him
home. His stance, his glare, his reiatsu..all blatantly in defiance to the will of the sinner. While he has no words to spare to the sinner, he does offer words to those who deigned to follow him.
”Aragon. Maximilliano. Be sure to aim for La Cabeza. Si?
Vincent addresses the horned one, pointing to his face. Was it meant to be a subtle cue? A hint to his newest subordinate, while leaving the Togabito unaware?
”And mind those chains. Only those touched by hell can repel them…”
“Now…Send these diablo’s back to the pit.
Go.”
He forewarns the man of the towering chains, a warning that should not go unheeded. Vincent finishes speaking, time graciously allotted to him by the Togabito. The Fugitive God King is done with words. He lowers his already short body closer towards the sand covered ground, left arm pressed firmly into the sand. Muscles in his leg compact as strength is gathered and amassed in them. Veins surface on his flesh, muscles becoming tighter...and tighter...and tighter.
With muscles tightened and flexed, body compacted like a bullet in a chamber, Vincent takes a deep breath..filling his lungs. His target, already locked...power gathered and formed… and body

PROPELLED
His body launched towards the Togabito, the ground fracturing, creating a deep crevice within the tortured alabaster sands. The winds howl out as if in agony, massive dunes of sand destroyed, dispersed into multiple specks of sand scattered about. Vincent’s body is like a meteor, leaving behind a multicolored glowing trail of light in his wake.
Aragon, a willing tool to his master, releases the restraints on his power, growing in both height and power — engulfed in flames of fluorescent pink. Suspended in the air, Aragon maneuvers himself through the skies, seeking to avoid the undulating chains, the metal links continuing to rattle and clink as they sway, still cackling with their hellish power. As the Espada sonidos, his arms whip about in flurried movement, blurred and distorted, impossible to properly perceive while the man is in motion. Orbs of pink and black, sizzling with searing heat dot the space around the Togabito. Behind him, above him, beside him; every which way the creature could possibly look or perceive..covered by the espada’s power. Aragon watches from above, prepared to support his Lord, to bombard the sinner with his power at a moment’s notice.
And what of the other one?
The horned one, not unlike his peer remains suspended in the air. An ominous sphere of destructive energy rests in the palm of his hand. Expanded and compacted several times over, its power was perhaps unfathomable at this point.
The Togabito, perhaps lost by euphoria, or driven insane by his own corrupted desires and imagination has not moved a single step from his position. He has remained, cackling and drooling the entire time. As Vincent launched himself towards him he laughed, as Aragon cages him in his cero he drools..laughs growing even more manic, the towering chains rattle in harmony with his delight, having done nothing to cut off Aragon’s path as he maneuvered around them. It's because of the Togabito’s inaction, that he finds himself struck by the meteor that is God King Vincent Bautista.
Cruuuunnnnch
There is a sickening crunch, a loud disturbing crack that echoes through the air. The Togabito’s body goes barreling back and inadvertently, collides with dozens of the searing cero suspended in that same space. The gates of hell lined up behind him, sure to send this sick and twisted figure back to the pit he crawled out from when-
THUD
The creature’s body smacks against a large metal link, one of many making up one of the elongated chains, a chain that had maneuvered itself to block the Togabito’s forced retreat.
Crrraaaaaaccckkk
Another sickening crunch resounds like thunder from the impact of the body colliding with the hell heated chain, as it is forced to what remains of the ground like a rag doll. The pain, the abuse perhaps more than any one body could possibly bear...is shared with all who had gathered around him.
When colliding against the Togabito with all that strength, all that ferocity — all that unbridled destructive power, Vincent, Aragon and Maximilliano are struck with equal force, in the same location on each of their bodies simultaneously. When colliding against the searing Cero belonging to Aragon, again the three are simultaneously met with the heat and power of the orbs, and again when the Togabito’s ragged body is slammed against the metal link, super heated by the flames, heat and power from hell.
Every act of pain dealt to the Togabito, concurrently mirrored unto all those gathered. Rallied behind the man whose power they deemed absolute, unaware that with their approach, with stepping into the boundaries of his spiritual power rippling out from his very being..they had tethered themselves to him. The pain, the damage dealt bypasses the natural defense of their respective hierro, circumvents the invisible protective measure surrounding Maximilliano, striking true to each and every single one of them.
They’re forced to bear the might of the God King’s power, power they deemed the pinnacle of their race, forced to bear the heat and force from Aragon’s scorching Cero. Those gathered however are not weak by any measure, yet the pain they are forced to bear only grows greater...more unbearable. Aragon, one who should know his power better than anyone, perhaps notices that the heat from his cero, is greater than it should be...greater than what he himself could actually produce. They strike with a power unrealized by the former Primera.
When the Togabito’s body collides with the chain, the force from that blow lands with far greater impact than it should have even from the velocity of his airborne travel, somehow rivaling the initial blow from Vincent himself. Then there was the searing heat from the hell heated chains, far outstripping Aragon’s cero in heat.
The Togabito, laying sprawled out on the ground...still and immobile begins to shift. The cackling laughter that had ended while bludgeoned by Vincent, while hurtled through the air, while slammed against and through dozens of cero, when slammed against heated metal...emerges once more.
”Yeeeessss. It hurttssss, hurts sooooo so so so...Goooood.”
The Togabito’s body twists and contorts as it rises to its feet, worming its way off the ground. Mask, still intact, his body while dirtied, appears relatively...unbroken. His presence, denser, more powerful than when first confronted by the trio. He looks around only to find Vincent sprawled along the ground in the distance. Perhaps being bombarded by not only his own crippling power, but the accumulated pain and damage from all that had transpired in that short span of time was too much, too unexpected.
Having shared with the three the pleasure and gift of pain, the Togabito was eager to both give and receive more. He craved the agony, thirsted for the torment, hungered to be broken...but, another day perhaps.
”Thaaaank you Vincent. You made me feel such delicious agony. I’ll be sure to grant you all manner of suffering back home to show my appreciation.”
A chain coiling around the God King’s body as the Togabito expresses his genuine gratitude. The chains continue to rattle as the Togabito turns towards the gate. The crimson glow casts a haunting light against his figure as he turns to face the other two one last time.
”I’ll come back for you. Kekekekeke”
He cackles as he begins passing through the massive gate, carrying along with him the snake-like chains...and Hueco Mundo’s God King. Once fully passed through, the gate closes..vanishing from the realm of Hollows. His parting words, a final promise lingers in the air. There was no telling when that monstrosity would return, and when he did...would they be ready?
Hueco Mundo for the third time, has lost its sovereign
