The Replacement By: Sammy Phantom (PhantomTaicho)

Chapter 1. Resurrection

It was the next day after Ulquiorra and Lola's night together. Breakfast had been awkward, for as they sat at there usual tables, Ulquiorra with the Espada, and Lola amongst the numuro, the two would constantly glance at each other to see if the other was looking, every time they caught eyes, they'd avert their gaze in hope that the other didn't notice.

The subject among the Espada was the death or the Quinta, whom was the only one absent for that meal, Stark was close to absent, he had overslept. Many rumors arose to how he had died, the only one that involved the 4th was that Noitora was cocky and picked a fight with the forth, Ulquiorra remained silent through the discussion, although, so did Szayel.

Grimmjow asked the little gossip what he thought had happened. "You're guess is as good as mine, anything could have happened, and for a number of reasons, although I do miss my friend, all my friends have been brutally murdered." Szayel said, shooting a glare at Grimmjow. Szayel and Luppi had been friends at one time.

Meanwhile, amongst the Numuros, the talk wasn't as much of Noitora for long. Sure, the girls talked of him for a while, how grateful they were that a potential rapist was as dead as dead could be, but Lola knew that "potential" was an understatement. The talk was more of the latest addition to their table, a blonde Arrancar that was sitting at the end of the table alone. There was talk of Aizen having created a 42nd arrancar, one of human form, only for it to be one of Szayel's experiments that never left the lab. She looked sad. Her clothes weren't what was usually expected, they were somewhat normal, except for the spikes that were on the bottom of the pant legs, spikes on the sleeves, and what looked like a spiked collar around her neck. Her hollow mask was a big chunk of a helmet on her head with a small horn on it. Her hair covered her right eye.

"So she's the new one, huh?"

"What's up with that outfit?"

"Freak."

It was then when one with black, short hair, spoke up. "She's such a baby; she's weak and can't defend herself, relying on Szayel-sama for protection. She should just lie down and die." Said the 41st Arrancar, she too was one of Szayel's fraccions.

Lola walk over to the girl as the others laughed at the misery the girl was in. "Hey there." Lola said, smiling. The girl looked up from her plate.

"Yeah, what is it?" She said, sighing.

"You seem lonely, want a friend?" She held out her hand and the other girl shook it. "Who are you anyway?" She asked.

Lola grinned. "Lola, Lola Archer."

"Bakuhatsu Asano."

Later that day, all Arrancar were called to attend a meeting in the throne room. Everyone was buzzing with what the purpose was. It seemed obvious that it was about the death of Noitora and they all wondered what Aizen would do about the open position of Quinta Espada. Once all the arrancar assembled, he began to speak.

"My dear Arrancar, I am sure that you are all aware of the death of our former Quinta Espada, Noitora Jiruga, and the position is now open to whom I see fit." His voice was its usual calmness as he said this. "I would rather not have to pick out of all of you, the one with the most strength for the position, so I have come up with a back up plan." This was when Orihime came out.

All the Girl Arrancar started talking of her and how much they loathed her to their hollow souls. Most had a crush on Ulquiorra, it was for that reason they despised her.

She walked into the middle of the room, so she was surrounded by Arrancar. She called upon her fairies while standing before a set of legs. "Soten Kisshun." The two fairies flew out and made the healing shield. Within seconds, he was standing there.

Before everyone, Orihime had done what would seem impossible, Luppi was alive before them, and he began to speak. "Oh, what happened?" He soon recalled what had happened right before his death. "Oh, why am I alive then?"

Aizen began to speak again. "Noitora was recently killed and we needed someone to fill his spot, and you are that person. Quinta Espada, Luppi."

Luppi's face lit up with excitement. "I die and I get promoted? YES! I can't wait to continue my work as an Espada."

Tesla walked foreword. "This is Tesla, he shall be your Fraccion." Said Aizen.

Luppi grinned. "Arigato Gozaimosu. Let's go, Tulsa."

"It's Tesla, Luppi-sama."

Before they could leave the room, Aizen stopped them. "You must get your tattoo updated by Szayel in his lab first, Luppi."

Luppi was a little scared, everyone hated to be in Szayel's lab, the things that go on in there, they all knew. "O-okay... Aizen-sama." He hesitantly walked out of the throne room. Everyone could tell that Grimmjow was furious, but he couldn't do anything now, he had bigger fish to fry, like Ichigo Kurosaki, so he and his lone fraccion left.
