This is an idea I've been entertaining for a while: what would happen if a Shinigami or Vizard consumed a Hollow's or Arrancar's spiritual pressure. If anyone else has this idea, I'm sorry and no plagiarism was intended.
I do not own Bleach nor do I make any claim to do so. That honor is exclusively Tite Kubo's.
Hueco Mundo, a desolate land of sand dunes as far as the eye can see, populated only by Hollows, creatures of pure instinct for destruction and death. The only feature breaking the monotony is a large white palace: Las Noches, the headquarters of Sosuke Aizen and his Espada. Approximately three days from the palace is a small band of highly unlikely travelers.
Two are humans, but not normal humans. One, Chad, possesses superhuman strength and durability, capable of withstanding a falling steel beam with only a annoyed "ow" in response. The other, Uryu Ishida, is a Quincy, who fires arrows of spirit particles, utterly destroying their target upon impact, and with potent accuracy.
Two are Shinigami: Rukia Kuchiki, a petite raven-haired girl with a fiery disposition and ice-cold, serious battle skills; and Renji Abarai, a crimson-haired man with a cocky attitude but formidable martial abilities.
Three are Arrancar, Hollows that have gained the abilities of Shinigami by removing their masks. One is Nel, a small child with a cartoonish skull atop her head with a reddish mark beneath her eyes and a very adult vocabulary. The others are her two "brothers"(?) Pesche, a humanoid with an insect-like mask and a loincloth, and Dondochakka, donned (clad?) in polka dots and a tiki mask.
The final two are the strangest of the whole band. The first is obvious: Bawabawa, an eel-like Hollow with a mask on his head like a helmet. The other is not as obvious (more subtle?), Ichigo Kurosaki, a human in Shinigami robes with orange colored hair.
However strange these travelers are, they have two things in common. First, they are here to rescue a girl, Orihime, from Aizen and his Arrancar army.
Second, they are in very deep trouble. They are on the edge of a sinkhole created by Runuganga, Guardian of the White Sands, and cannot escape.
"Damn it!" yelled Ichigo as he stood up and readied his zanpakutou to attack. "Here goes nothing! Getsuga Tensh-whoa-whoa-whoa-WHOOOAAAA!" Just as he prepared to launch his attack, Bawabawa, the Hollow that the group was riding on buckled and Ichigo fell off into the sinkhole.
"Ichigo!" everyone yelled and tried in vain to grab him before he fell, but all they could do was watch as Ichigo was swallowed by the sinkhole. "NOOO!" yelled Nel while Renji and Rukia ground their teeth and clenched their fists in frustration. This did not last very long before Uryu yelled out "Hold on everyone!" as the sand swallowed them up as well.
The next thing the group noticed was them coming out of the sand and falling through what appeared to be a forest canopy. After that, they felt a LOT of pain, as they landed on the forest floor. Some, Rukia, Nel, and Chad had the good fortune to fall through a series of branches before landing. Pesche and Renji were lucky enough to land on Bawabawa instead of the hard floor.
Uryu, was the most lucky, as his mantle was caught by a branch and allowed him to slide down the tree. Dondochakka, on the other hand, was the least fortunate, as he happened to land first before anyone else, and on the exact spot the exact spot where Bawabawa, Renji, and Pesche landed. As a result, the next thing everyone remembered was a very long, loud "OW!" from below them.
A few minutes later after everyone got back to their feet and dusted themselves off, they had a look around. "Interesting, these trees are the same as the ones growing aboveground" noted Uryu. "That means that the trees growing aboveground are really extensions of these trees." "They reach all the way up there? Incredible." voiced Rukia in awe.
Their moment of awe was cut short by the sound of three whimpering Arrancar. "Hey what's wrong?" Chad asked. "This-this-this is the...Menos Forest!" Nel answered with a whimper in her voice and tears in her eyes. "The Menos Forest. I'm guessing that this is where a lot of Hollows, including Menos live." Rukia said.
"I have to agree with you Rukia" Uryu said. "I think that the Arrancar and Espada live aboveground while the Adjuchas and lesser level Hollows live down here. This is trouble. Wen we were falling, I sensed the presence of several Gillian-class Hollows."
"How many Gillians?" Rukia asked, somewhat fearful of the answer. "It was very faint, but I felt as least a dozen." Uryu answered. "Which means we have to get outta here as fast as possible" Renji inputed. "The longer we wait, the greater the chance that Hollows will eventually find us, and we can't fight them all." "Don't forget about Itsygo!" Nel cried out. "Don't worry Ne;, we'll find him BEFORE we leave" Rukia said in as kind a voice as she could. "And it's ICHIGO, not ITSYGO!" she added, her voice lsoing most of its kindness and replaced by a cold fury of annoyance.
"Well, let's get going. Bawabawa?" Pesche said as the eel-shaped Hollow crawled over and waited for everyone to climb on. "Now, let's go."
Meanwhile, in a very different part of the forest, Ichigo was just coming back to consciousness when he felt THE largest spiritual pressure he had ever felt. He recalled when he first met Kenpachi Zaraki, the fight-crazy captain of Squad Eleven. His spiritual pressure was enough to knock him down to the ground. Now, Kenpachi's spiritual pressure felt like a light soothing massage compared to what this pressure felt like. THIS spiritual pressure would have scared the crap right out of Aizen, the traitor who blocked Ichigo's Bankai with just a finger.
After the pressure came a long, barking laugh, very similar to what a person would hear from a hyena at the zoo or those wildlife documentaries. Sure enough, when Ichigo looked to the source of the sound, the first impression he got was that of a hyena. The creature was humanoid in shape, with a stocky build, covered in reddish tan fur and black spots. The creature's hands and forearms were encased in metallic gauntlets, with talons for fingers. The feet and legs were similar, albeit shaped like a hyena, and it stood on its toes like a hyena. To finish it all off, the neck was long and thick, and topped with a red-eyed white hyena head.
When the creature opened it's mouth, that long barking laugh came out again. Then it spoke. "What have we here? A poor lost Shinigami?" When it spoke, it had a female's voice, and it had a bark to it, like the laughter that signaled her arrival.
'So, this is the source of that massive spiritual pressure' Ichigo thought as he struggled to get up. 'Now what do we do now? Fight? Run?'
'How about imagine her in a wet t-shirt with really short shorts and a human's face?' Hichigo, Ichigo's inner hollow suggested with a perverted chuckle. 'Uh not HELPING!' Ichigo responded though he could not help noticing the Hollow's well endowed bust, which rivaled Kukaku's or Yoruichi's in size and seemed to defy gravity.
"Tsk tsk tsk. It doesn't matter what you do, though I must say that last thought of yours is quite intriguing," she said much to Ichigo's surprise. 'Can she read my mind?' he thought with fascination and terror. "Yes I can, which is why it does not matter what you do. But, I'm a nice girl, so I'll let you decide on how to die." She responded with a bark of laughter.
"Very well. I am Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Shinigami, and I'll fight, but I WON"T die!" Ichigo said with defiance and a massive surge in spiritual pressure.
"Ha ha ha. All right. I guess this will be fun, so I'll give you my name," the Hollow said as she took an attack stance. "I am Hiena Carnear, Vasto Lorde, and the Beast of Hueco Mundo!"
Author's Notes: I am aiming for Ichigo to have a harem in this story. If there are any girls you'd like to see in this harem please review and let me know.
