Author's Note: Hello there, Kaizen here. This is my first real attempt at writing a fanfic, so please, be kind. Also, this will be my first post in like, a year; yeah, i know, what the hell have i been doing all this time? The answer, nothing really.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Bleach and all its characters belong to Tite Kubo. The lyrics at the beginning of the chapter are from Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day, i don't own that either.
I walk a lonely road, the only one that i have ever known.
Don't know where it goes, but it's only me and i walk alone.
Roughly 50 years before the hollowfication incident, Hueco Mundo.
A powerful sandstorm, a rare occurrence here in Hueco Mundo, was raging. A single hollow could be seen in the vast emptiness that was this unforgiving wasteland.
This hollow, an adjuchas, bore the appearance of a large gray wolf with spikes, like those of a Menos, around its neck. He trudged alone towards a far off cave, an entrance to the Menos Forest, where he would be able to escape this storm and rest.
After several moments of walking he finally reached the cave and lay down. He had not rested in several days, not since...
"No... I mustn't think of that." he thought to himself as he shivered. Four days. It had been four days since he had last rested, three since 'it' had happened. "Gah... damnit." he groaned, "Why can't I get that out of my head?" He sighed, "I need to sleep." he closed his eyes and swiftly drifted off to sleep.
Several hours later he awoke to the sound of howling, a sign that other hollows were nearby. He growled, one of the howls sounded familiar, could it possibly be that same pack of hollows? Had they followed him?
"Damnit, why must something always disturb my rest?" he tried to stand, cringing in pain from his wounds from the other day, they still hadn't healed. He could sense them now, they were getting closer.
He had to flee, but he couldn't do so very quickly with these injuries. But he couldn't stay here; he didn't stand a chance against them all, not on his own.
"Alone..." A voice seemed to whisper inside his head. He had always been alone, but now he truly felt it. He tried to shake it off, but at that moment the group of hollows appeared. There were five of them.
"Hehehehe... Looks like we found him." one of the hollows, who looked like a large ape-ish creature, said. "You know, we've been looking for you for a while. Can't let our prey escape, now can we?" another, more human looking hollow spoke.
He was obviously the leader, "Vormund... my dear, old friend. You should have let us kill you with the rest of your lousy pack. It would have saved us a lot of time, and you wouldn't have to die alone." The lead hollow cackled, "No matter, at least I still get to watch you die."
Finally, Vormund, who had stood there silently all this time spoke, "Traitor, i trusted you, then you killed all of them. My pack. You WILL pay." Strangely, he felt as though tears were coming to his eyes.
"Strong words for a man that's about to die. Get him!" the leader commanded and the other four hollows charged him. Right before they hit him he cast a negacion around himself, this ability was a skill that only Menos possessed, usually. He was the only adjuchas who could still use it, and he typically used it as a shield.
The hostile hollows bounced right off of the barrier, and he sonido'd out of the cave. However, he didn't get very far before he was stopped by their leader, who smashed him into the ground.
The head hollow, a very powerful adjuchas, had once been his closest ally, but now only wanted him dead. If it were just them fighting, Vormund would be able to win, even as injured as he was. But he had companions, Vormund couldn't win, he had to run.
Before he could stand the five hollows surrounded him, he couldn't escape now. "Damnit..." now he had to fight. If he were a Vasto Lorde this fight would be easy, but he was not, this would be quite a challenge and he probably wouldn't make it out alive.
He could still give it a shot though, he took a deep breath a let loose his spiritual pressure, two of the weaker hollows nearly fell to their knees under its weight. However, it only slowed them down a little and the four attacked him while their leader watched. Good, his odds had gone up, since the five of them hadn't charged him at once. He could probably handle these four if their leader stayed out of it till the end.
He leapt into the air to avoid the four of them, then twisted around and lunged at the ape-like hollow. He tore its head clean off its body, all of it vanishing in an instant.
The other three rushed at him from different angles, he quickly fired a balla at a second, chameleon-like hollow, disarming it (literally), but not killing it. That left two, which managed to pin him to the ground, their leader laughing evilly. "My, my, Vormund, you put up quite the fight, but this is the end. Say goodnight."
The two lesser hollows charged up ceros, preparing to finish him off. He closed his eyes and waited. The moment they fired their ceros he opened a Kumon between him and the blasts, which were absorbed by the rift.
He then opened a second one behind the hollows, and the cero was let out killing both of them. "What the hell?" their leader shouted, surprised and pissed at the same time.
Vormund stood and shook himself off, "That was a Kumon, when i ascended to adjuchas class i kept many of my Menos abilities. That was one of them." he answered, then in a mocking tone, "But i've never done a double Kumon while i was this injured, it drained pretty much all of my energy, so I can't do much more. Go ahead, Celio, try to put me out of my misery."
The angered adjuchas fired two ballas at him; he only managed to dodge one, the second one blowing of his right hind leg. With a yelp of pain Vormund fell to the ground.
Celio raised both his hands above his head and started charging a cero "This is the end, there's no way you can escape me now." He fired the cero, which caused a giant explosion on impact, tearing the landscape and Vormund apart. Then...nothing.
A/N: And that is the first chapter. How about that cliffhanger eh? Anyway, read and review, tell me what you think of it. I think i turned out okay, but it's up to you. Tell me if you think i should continue.
