Prologue

Okay, so you all know me, though probably not very well. I'm Mist, the one Shonan calls fish-girl. Before I begin, I guess I should tell you a bit about myself. I'm arrancar 101, a privaron Espada. I'm technically not in Aizen-sama's 'arrancar army' anymore, since I kind of vanished after meeting Shonan and Hay-Lin ten years ago. In all truth, I'm a bit glad to be gone. So now, I'll take you to my past, when I first met Lord Aizen.

*160 years ago, approx. 16 human years*

A small, light blue-haired girl, around 6 human years in age, collapsed on the colorless sand, on the brink of death. She has just avoided being devoured by a lesser hollow. She was easy prey to one of those monsters. Not that she had much room to talk, she herself being half-hollow, more commonly known as an arrancar. Yep, that poor, defenseless creature was me. I lay there for almost an hour, waiting to die. Suddenly, a large shadow fell upon me. Summoning what little energy I had left, I curled up into a small ball, preparing to be eaten.

"Well, well, what do we have here? An arrancar?" a smooth voice spoke. I uncurled slightly and hesitantly opened one eye.

"Y-you're not going to eat me?" I asked. A brown-haired man towered above me, radiating power. He laughed.

"Of course not! It is extremely rare to find such a young arrancar, especially if they were not created with the hogyoku. It would be a waste to kill you. Come with me, I can grant you safety and power." He held out his hand and helped me up. 'What is your name, little one?"

"M-Mist, sir." I said after a pause. "And yours?"

"Sosuke Aizen."

*later*

"So…why am I here?" I asked, looking up at Aizen.

"I'm assembling a group of powerful arrancars. I already have five of them picked out. I would like to test your abilities, and see where you would place – if you would place. The fact that you were naturally created is in itself impressive. That, and you survived an attack from one of the stronger hollows in the menos forest and defeated it is even more astonishing. Follow me, the testing pit is ready." When we got to the so called 'testing pit', I looked around in awe. It was circular, with stone rows that served as seats. It looked somewhat like the Roman coliseums I had read about in a book, even more so with rabid, somewhat insane hollws tearing at the large iron gates and shackles that restrained them. On the 'bleachers' sat a wrinkly old man with white hair and a hollow mask shaped like some sort of crown, a blonde woman with a piercing glare and dark skin, a man with short brown hair with his mask around his neck, and a black-haired, pale man with green lines down his face. There were also many other arrancars, but those four seemed to be the most important. A green-haired lady with hazel eyes joined them. Another powerful one. I gulped. Only the green-haired lady seemed even somewhat friendly. Aizen followed my gaze. "Ah, yes, those are the other five recruits. Barragan, Harribel, Starrk, Ulquiorra, and Nelliel. I must first choose four other members before I rank them. Now, let the fight begin." He flashstepped to the bleachers, next to his group, and all the gates were suddenly opened at once. I cried out in surprise and the fight began.
