A collab I am working on with Ashido Kano. The revival of the Star Goddess must happen if the people of the universe stand any chance against Chaos.
Motives
Chapter 1: Offers
"There is no crown anymore! There is no King! Who are they to assume power?" yelled a man at the top of his voice. The guard standing in front of him did not budge; the cold stare of a killers eyes gleaming down at him not even bringing about a flinch. A brief pause of silence as the tension was built, neither side willing to back down. Haseo sat down. This guard was not going anywhere.
"It's been quite some time since anyone has shown interest in what is left of Las Noches Castle. Tell me why the sudden interest now?" Haseo said looking up at the guard.
No sign of acknowledgement to Haseo or his words came from the guard.
"Tell me what makes them believe that they have the right to rule this world? Why have you decided to aid them?" Haseo paused looking now away from the guard into the endless white sands of Hueco Mundo.
Haseo sat there in the sands looking at the unchanging environment that was their world. It had been some time since their world had been invaded by and ruled by the shinigami, Aizen Souske. But his reign has long since passed. The only reminder of his rule being his Las Noches. Battles over who would rule the land as its new king erupted among the hollows following news of his defeat. Now the fighting has long since passed. Now there is one who has taken Las Noches and with it the right to rule the world of the hollows. Haseo spoke again in an almost depressed tone, "There is no need for a king or a set of rulers here. Don't you guys get it things are the way they are support to be. When things are going right, you won't notice. So when nothing is happening everything is going the way they are meant too."
Again nothing from the guard.
"So that's how it's going to be." replied Haseo now dusting himself off.
Again not the slightest hint of acknowledgment came from the guard. Haseo narrowed his eyes at this and decided to take a walk. He walked around Las Noches for some time the he came to a stop as there was a woman with long white hair standing before of him. She was wearing a long white silk dress; her eyes were light blue and she had a gentle smile.
"And you would be?" Haseo asked unimpressed.
"My name is Katia. I am the princess of the Milky Way Galaxy. Soon Hueco Mundo will be part of my kingdom. It is my wish to protect my people as best as I can from certain danger. I can grant you one wish, any wish you like," the woman said; her voice sounded so pure like an angel from heaven.
"We are far too late to be saved." Haseo replied with rather stern voice.
He stood there trying to figure out what she is. She did not possess the spiritual energy of a hollow, arrancar, or shinigami. The two where complete polar opposites, she possessing a rather angelic appearance and he having the tattered and rough appearance of someone having dealt with a hard life. The white the two adorn being the only thing they share in common.
"Well then Katia, I am Haseo. I am an Arrancar. We are remnants of a rouge shinigami's plans. We were created with the sole purpose of destroying nothing more. If it is your wish to aid me then I have but one wish-", Haseo paused for a moment before finishing. "…nothing… Katia, what business do you have here?"
"My only purpose for this world and galaxy is to protect it. I have the ability to change people's lives," Katia said, "I was sent by the Star Goddess to help the people of Earth, that includes you even thought you are in Hueco Mundo. Please, listen. I was born of a yellow star out of the seven stars of the universe. The yellow star contains my power and one day I made a promise to the star goddess that I would revive her with the seven stars. When I was in Tokyo, I thought I can let the other star princesses help me defeat Aizen with our songs. I was glad that the substitute shinigami defeated him. I can really help you. Please accept my offer on this wish."
"Wha? Fine, I choose to believe you, for now." Haseo replied.
Haseo thought to himself for a moment. This woman obviously was up to something. What was there possibly worth protecting here? If she is indeed some being born in some unknown world or if this is some elaborate lie there was no way currently to tell. She wished to change the lives of people. This is not the same as to change the Hearts of people. Even if this was a mistake of wording then Hueco Mundo would be off her list as hollows are those who have lost their hearts. Aizen also tried to change the lives of the people of Earth what makes this Star Goddess any different? She is obviously up to something. She must need an arrancar for something and must know that there are few of us left. Trust is what Katai wants but she will not find any here.
"Katai, I will accept your offer. I will aid you in reviving the Star Goddess but only out of my own free will. This is my wish." replied Haseo in a monotone voice.
