Grimmjow groaned it was getting annoying to eat hollows to get his strength back. He thought he was going to die from Nnoitra's attack on him. It didn't make sense how one number was stronger than the other to the point of nearly killing him. Maybe the fight tired him out more than he thought.
The next thing he saw was another hollow eating a dead hollow, he looked like a giant bat with the feeling of a vasto lorde so he didn't dare to touch him. However he saw it turn a green eye to him and heard:
"Grimmjow, what's the news on lord Aizen?"
He almost shit his pants, that was Ulquiorra.
"Aizen's dead or something, the guys a traitor anyway he killed hallibel" Grimmjow replied.
Ulquiorra folded his wings and looked around. The amount of hollows had increased in this area in the past week, if there was time in Hueco Mundo.
"Lets get to Karakura Town in the human world" Ulquiorra said opening the Garganta.
Grimmjow looked around and then at Ulquiorra. As much as the two fought they knew it was smarter to stick together, so he followed Ulquiorra into the Garganta.
Stark woke up from his sleep to a growling in his stomach. Hunger. He never felt hunger before but that wasn't all. His blood felt warmer and could feel a slight pumping. It occurred to him. He now had a beating heart. He groaned and saw lillinette with a pale skin but no horn they were no doubt humans now.
"Seems like I won't be sleeping and won't be alone" said Stark looking for a place to get food.
By the time the garganta got Ulquiorra and Grimmjow to Karakura town, they had a house, money and food. Stark was also getting a job. Stark ended up as a under cover shopper.
As they got into gigai, they looked around. They then found a house for sale and gave the realtor cash. As they moved in, they took off the arrancar uniforms and went to bed. They needed to shop for more clothing and other things later. Like next day later. For now they were content to survive in a house. Neither had to worry about being attacked, neither had to wonder what orders they had, neither really wanted to be kicked out or leave, and neither did have a grudge against Ichigo Kurosaki who brought them there. They took their couches and slept comfortable for the first time since they were supposedly killed. Nnoitra was dead. Grimmjow was sure he was done in by shinigami and in whatever the shinigami did to hollows. It was peaceful.
The next day, they woke up and showered one at a time. Ulquiorra took five minutes and Grimmjow took ten. The two then got their clothing and set off. The two went to the mall and picked out jeans that were baggy and skinny. They had seven of each; two black,three blue and one red, and one grey. They also each bought seven shirts; one grey, one white, one black, one red, one white, one green and one dark blue. Then they bought beds, chairs and table with delivery. Needless to say, once they were done both were happy to use them. The beds especially. They didn't care that they had no sheets, or pillows because to them this was comfortable. They would still buy them but not immediately.
Days went by and everyone was surviving most were bored. The testing advertisements came and Ulquiorra figured it would be a good opportunity. He applied like Kirito. He got the nerve gear. He somehow had it fit over his Hollow mask and calibrated it to fit him and with his link start he beta'd sword art online. The beta test he won after showing why he should beta test the game. It turned out having both computer skills and some knowledge of swordsmanship really helped. He had gave his letter and after a bit of time with the letter saying he was a soldier which was the truth he got in. They sent him gear and beta right away. He somehow got it over his real hollow mask and let it tell him what to do to calibrate it.
His name Bat Demon he gave him black hair like his own, green eyes and the palest skin making him look like a zombie, or vampire. He picked it up instantly and was the top beta besides Kirito. Each were equal and each avoided collaboration. He loved the place with all it's color and warm weather. He lived where it was very dull and very cold Orihime had asked him for a jacket countless times since she wasn't used to it but he was. He like Kirito was addicted to the game. Then the beta was finished and he had to exchange the game. He then got a game a week before it was released in stores.
He then was link starting again. The game had sold out. He had got one for grimmjow since he was getting bored unlike Ulquiorra he was not a beta tester and had to do the calibration and all on the first actually fit over his real form too. He called himself cat demon and Ulquiorra started to show him around. He was a good teacher. Grimjow's katana was the main weapon despite how he wanted it to be claws which Ulquiorra said would be a later move. After all he couldn't get higher than floor eight. The claws would be after that it had to be floor ten at least.
Orihime had got a Nerve gear as a contest prize for weirdest food that was tasty. It was a first prize. She was meaning to just get third prize which was two thousand yen. Oh well at least she got something good. Her contest entree was green tea cream in green tea. It wasn't her weirdest by far and was really delicious
"not that I recommend this for an early morning before work you'd be driving your boss crazy" joked the announcer.
When they gave her the Nerve gear, she thought it was a cool helmet. As soon as she shown it to Tatsuki she found out it was more than a cool helmet. Ichigo's gift was the nerve gear and game from his dad as a way to get him like a teen. Everyone knew Ichigo's dad was not the most responsible but he hated to see Ichigo lose his childhood and teen hood. "Come on be a teen for once the world doesn't need saving and I got it from here on taking care of your little sisters" He said with a wink.
Lillinette had begged Stark to get the gear, she bought the sword art online game. Stark ended up buying two so after some finagling, they could both have two gears on the same game. He couldn't let her go in by herself. The fact was he was scared to go to work because he'd have to leave her alone. Half the time he had nightmares about coming to his house being blown up or worse.
Orihime, Ichigo, Lillinette, and stark all also started on the same day. Lillinette chose what looked like her and bought daggers. Her name was not changed. She also made her outfit look like her old arrancar uniform in cut so people could see her B cup chest. Stark face palmed at it.
Orihime chose animal tamer and based it on how she looked not knowing she had a twin nearby. Her animal turned out to be a three tailed kitsune kit. She noticed it could cast illusion and healing spells. She named it Kurama.
Ichigo changed nothing. Stark changed nothing either but both of them bought skinny swords. Then stark heard a "oh this girl is hot." He looked it was Kline hitting on lillinette. He then kicked him hard. "That's my daughter you filth" he said before buying a cloak of beginners so she wasn't revealing. Kline then went shopping where he spotted Kirito.
"is that you Kurosaki kun?" asked Orhime turning around as she spotted Ichigo.
"the one and only" said Ichigo as he smiled putting his sword into the sheath on his back.
"yay!" she said going and hugging him.
He smiled and hugged her back despite how he now felt they were just friends. Somehow all the crushes fizzled out when they returned to earth. Ulquiorra started creating his own created his own guild because he was the best one for it being a beta tester, the strongest player he knew, and the strongest in real life. The Game Demons was the name of the guild he created.
He then noticed the bells and everyone being teleported there. This spoke badly he had finished the guild just in time. He saw the Game Master and knew it was bad. He heard the speech and was glad he wasn't human but still it unnerved him He saw the mirror and everyone who used it changed. Grimmjow saw it too and threw it on the ground saying "no screw this. "They looked around and saw four people they knew. Ulquiorra began adding Ichigo, Orihime, Stark and Lillinette he already had Grimmjow and hearing this he needed them to stick together he had Kirito added from when they were Beta testers. Stark and Lillinette were human now and this made him more scared. He really didn't want those ex hollows and his few living friends to die. He wasn't even sure that if they died a second time they would ever exist again.
