"Retreat! There are too many of them!" Hitsugaya yelled, already starting to open a Senkai gate. Ichigo turned around and said, "What? We can't retreat now!" "Can't you feel the reiatsu? Genryuusai-dono's reiatsu is gone. So is Mayuri's and even Kenpachi's. We can't win this fight." Ichigo's eyes widened before he began to tell everyone that they had to retreat. Aizen smiled and also began to lead the remaining Arrancar through a Garganta, back to Las Noches. Lilynette glared at Aizen. How can he still be so calm when almost all of his Espada are dead? Even Stark is gone. Her eyes glimmered with tears as she remembered the death of her other half. Stark, I told you not to follow him. I told you. But you still didn't listen to me. Now are you happy? I'm stuck with him! And all he did was use you! I'm not going to forgive you, Stark. The instance they reached Las Noches, and the rest of the Arrancar were gone, Aizen called Lilynette to see him. "Yes, Aizen-sama?" Aizen smiled at her. "Since you are no longer of use to me, I shall give you two choices. Either leave this instant, or have me kill you." Lilynette obviously chose the first option, as she left the white dome-roofed architecture immediately. The light green-haired Arrancar wandered throughout the monotonous setting of Hueco Mundo. She sat down and began to recall her past with Stark…
"Lilynette, can we stop now?" "NO!" Stark sighed. They continued walking around the vast desert that was Hueco Mundo, searching for stronger Hollows to stay with. Stark sat on the sand and fell asleep. "STARK!" Lilynette screamed in infuriation, and she jumped on him. Stark leapt up from the sand, only to see a tiny, lizard Hollow crawling about. Lilynette and Stark both turned around, knowing what was going to happen. A shriek of pain sounded, followed by the sound of it turning into ash, unable to take Stark and Lilynette's strong reiatsu.
Lilynette heard a small squeak. She turned her head and saw another small, lizard Hollow. She stumbled over to it, stretching out her hand. The Hollow slowly crawled onto her palm and up her arm. Half my soul is gone now. Is that why this Hollow can touch me? Does Stark's absence really make that much difference? She bent her head and tears began to flow freely down her cheeks in crystalline rivulets. She lifted her head to the sky and screamed. All her fury and confusion began to show in her reiatsu as it blazed. She cried until she had no more tears, and still, she cried. She had screamed until her voice had gone hoarse, and still, she yelled voicelessly. After she had stopped leaking her bottled-up depression, she whispered, "Stark, I guess I'll forgive you this time… since you're me…"
