Hazardous Adventure
This will be slightly AU, you'll know it when you see it later on.
Chapter 1: How to Lose a Castle in One Day
Little Nel was wondering aimlessly through the barren desert of Hueco Mundo; her trusty brothers Dondochakka and Pesche following closely behind her.
"Nel is so bored."
Dondochakka turned to the small girl. "We could play tag, don'tcha know."
"Yeah," Pesche added enthusiastically. "Why don't we play tag?"
"We've already played that, Nel is bored of it already."
"Do you want to... hmm," Pesche trailed off, trying to think. "Um... we could have a race."
Nel pouted. "No, Nel always loses in that." The child than noticed the huge tower of Las Noches and an idea entered her mind. "Let's play hide and seek."
Dondochakka eyed the empty desert. "I don't really think there's that many hiding places here."
Nel chuckled. "Silly Dondochakka, Nel meant over there—" her tiny hand pointed to the tower ahead. "—inside that castle."
Pesche and Dondochakka quickly froze.
"Are y-you kidding Nel, w-we can't go there." Pesche stuttered.
"Don'tcha know, it's dangerous there."
"Only if we get caught." Nel replied. "And we won't, so let's go." Before they could say anymore the small girl had bolted towards Las Noches. "Make sure you count to ten and no peeking!"
"T-This is bad, we have to get her," Pesche gulped. "Or we're doomed."
"We have to be careful about how we do this though." Dondochakka replied. "Let's get Nel outta there!"
Pesche nodded. "Right, one, two, three, four-"
"What in the world are you doing?"
"What's it look like, I'm counting to ten." Pesche said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh..."
For a moment Dondochakka stayed quiet. He than spoke after another second.
"Okay."
Once finished the two rushed over to Las Noches.
As Nel approached the giant castle she couldn't help but find it familiar. It felt strange, almost as if she'd been here before. She dismissed the thought almost instantly and instead focused on finding a good hiding place. That would definitely be easy.
She was fascinated by how big the place was. There were loads of hiding places here. Nel walked down through the long hallways for a perfect spot, earning several strange looks from passing arrancars.
"—who's the squirt?"
"—beats me."
Nel ignored them and made a turn into a corner, going down a flight of stairs. She came upon several doors on each side of the wall.
"Hmm...?" Nel placed a hand to her chin pensively. "There's so many places to hide that Nel doesn't know which to take."
She opened one of them and was met with an angry arrancar shooing her away.
"Meanie," Nel muttered before leaving.
She opened the one next to it and quickly closed it when she saw a very frightening looking arrancar inside.
"Maybe Nel should head somewhere else."
Changing her route Nel headed upwards, ascending the stairs; frowning when she came upon another hallway.
"This place is all the same."
"W-We must be careful or we could get caught, don'tcha know."
Pesche was following behind Dondochakka with shaking legs. "Do you have any idea where she could be?"
"I don't know, this place is to big."
"Perhaps w-we should split up," Pesche suggested, albeit in a scared manner. "If we do we'll cover m-more ground."
"No we can't," Dondochakka sobbed. "I don't wanna be separated from you too Pesche, I've already been torn away from Nel."
Pesche hugged his 'brother'. "You're right, I'm sorry for ever saying that. From now on we'll stick together!"
"Yeah!" Dondochakka shouted happily.
"Who the hell are you losers?!"
Both of them stopped and turned to see a group of arrancar.
They gave each other one glance. "Run!"
Aizen was quickly notified of the intruders, courtesy of his fangirls Loly and Menoly
"Lord Aizen there's been a break in." Loly said.
Aizen twirled in his chair so that he was now facing them. "Oh?" Had the Soul Reapers really gone and staged an attack— no it couldn't be. He frowned, it better not be Ichigo because he hadn't even kidnapped Orihime yet.
"It appears to be two of them." Menoly added.
"Two of them?" Aizen repeated. "Are they Soul Reapers?"
"No my lord, they aren't," Loly answered hastily before Menoly could steal her thunder.
Aizen stood up from his chair and walked passed them towards the door. "It seems my fortress is being infested with bugs, nonetheless I appreciate you notifying me."
Loly winked at him. "I'm always happy to be of service to you lord Aizen."
Menoly frowned, Loly wouldn't hog all the attention. She quickly smiled at Aizen. "That goes for me too lord Aizen."
Aizen twitched. "Yes, thank you. I'm going to talk with Ulquiorra." Before fully stepping out he gave them one last glance. "Make sure you're out of my room before I come back." These obsessed women were probably capable of stealing his boxers.
Once he was no longer there Loly turned to face Menoly; a confident smirk on her face.
"Did you see that Menoly?"
"See what?"
"The sparks between me and lord Aizen."
Menoly scoffed. "Get real Loly, he was totally looking at me."
"Oh no, you poor thing, jealousy is such a horrible trait." Loly said.
"Pffft, so is delusion."
"Ulquiorra, I want you to rid us of these intruders." Aizen said.
"You have my word that I'll take care of this," Ulquiorra assured. "This will be over before you know it."
"Exactly what I wanted to hear."
Dondochakka and Pesche were currently hiding inside some arrancar's room.
"This is really dangerous don'tcha know, we could get caught."
"Hey, does this mean we're playing hide and seek with everyone here?" Pesche replied.
"Um... yeah."
"Cool, but quit messing around Dondochakka we have to find Nel. This is no time for games," Pesche scolded even though he was fooling around as well.
"Oh right sorry." Dondochakka said. "Poor Nel, she's probably so scared right now."
"I know, so we can't waste anymore time. Let's move out Dondochakka, just like I taught you; silent and stealthily."
"Right!" Dondochakka quickly clamped his mouth shut. "I mean... right."
Szayel was currently in his lab doing another one of his magnificent experiments— or psycho experiments as Grimmjow referred to them.
He liked to have his privacy for this; under no circumstances did he allow anyone to enter. Any idiotic move could ruin his experiments. Therefore having his own lab was of the utmost importance to him. Szayel even went as far as to put a 'do not disturb' sign outside his door.
For other people like Nel this meant the best hiding place. Nobody would enter this door so it meant she wouldn't be found. As soon as Nel read the sign she was sold.
Ecstatic as ever she opened the door, finding a set of stairs descending from it, illuminated eerily by a single bare bulb that hung from the ceiling. Nel's happy mood slowly turned into a feeling of unsettlement.
Nel hurried along the passage, coming upon a closed door. She slowly opened it and peered inside. If she thought the hallway was dark than this place made it seem like nothing. There was absolutely no light in the room except for a small source coming from her left.
"What's that?"
Nel walked towards the source. It turned out to be coming from a few candles atop of a big table. There was a person standing in front of it; back facing Nel. She couldn't see his face but his bright pink hair gave off a familiar vibe. It's like she had met him somewhere before.
Aha, if Nel remembers him than he must be Nel's friend, she thought.
Szayel was to preoccupied with his next masterpiece that he didn't see the tiny little girl nearing him.
"Hiii there!"
The sudden yell was enough to make Szayel stumble backwards; breaking several of his containers and accidentally droping the entire beaker of chemicals into the pot in the process.
"What the hell?!" He shrieked.
Before anything else could happen the pot began shaking erratically. It fell down off the table, spilling the liquid-like goo that was inside.
"Shit..." Szayel muttered.
"What's that stuff?" Nel asked.
"That 'stuff' was my latest creation," Szayel responded; forgetting that he should be pissed he was instead horrified. "Unfortunately it wasn't finished."
"Meaning?"
Szayel gulped as the black goo began shaping into an amorphous figure; that kept gradually growing in size bit by bit.
"It means I have no idea how it'll turn out."
"Awesome!"
Szayel finally found it in him to peer at the culprit responsible for this.
"It's you!" He gasped. "How can you be here?!"
"No I'm Nel silly."
Szayel was about to stomp on her but than realized he had more pressing matters. The shapeless figure was now growing what resembled arms and legs onto its body. A pair of eyes than molded onto its face. Much to Szayel's horror it started staring at them.
"Um, why is it staring at us?" Nel questioned, now getting scared.
"It thinks we're food." Szayel replied. "Let's just back away slowly." Following his own advice he slowly started to back up.
The thing's back suddenly spasm and it grew even bigger; it was now reaching the ceiling, which was twice the size of Szayel.
"I built— or rather, I WAS building that thing as a cannibal," Szayel explained.
"W-Why would you wanna do that?!"
"I was going to make it tamable until you interrupted me like an idiot."
Nel stuck her tongue out at him. "Calling someone an idiot makes you an idiot!"
"Be quiet or you'll anger it you fool!" Szayel scolded.
The shouting seemed to irritate the monster because it gave out a loud screech.
"Don't just stand there, fight it!" Nel ordered.
"Do you see my Zanpakuto anywhere on me!"
"You are a big dummy!"
"Well excuse me for not anticipating an idiot to waltz in here, didn't you read the sign?!"
The monster shouted again only this time it was much louder.
"So what should we do?" Nel asked fearfully.
"There's only one thing we can do..."
"What the crap was all that yelling?!" Nnoitra shouted as he walked out of his room.
The other espada slowly began exiting their rooms.
"How's a guy suppose to get some sleep around here with all this noise?" Starrk said.
"It's way too freaking loud." Yammy added.
"What is this uproar about?!" Barragan asked.
Aizen and Ulquiorra soon appeared.
"My dear espada, we have intruders. I suggest you follow me to the meeting room for some tea," Aizen said calmly.
"I don't think nows the perfect time for freaking tea, didn't you hear that loud ass yell?" Grimmjow replied.
"Watch your tone," Ulquiorra threatened. "It's most likely the work of the intruders."
"Hey where's Szayel?" Yammy asked. "I don't see that fruitcake anywhere."
Nnoitra looked around. "Now that you mention it, I don't see him either."
At that instant Szayel dashed right passed them, dangling Nel on his shoulders. They both looked terrified.
"What the hell?" Grimmjow said, his shocked look reflected on all their faces.
The floor suddenly started shaking violently; it than tore apart and a grotesque monster popped out of it, blocking the passageway.
"Holy shit!" Nnoitra shouted.
"What the fuck is that?!" Grimmjow yelled.
The black goo monster was now even bigger, having grown twice its size. Its large hand reached forward and slammed a fist onto Nnoitra's room, breaking it on impact.
"Hey! That was my fucking room you just broke!"
The monster ignored him and began wrecking everything in sight.
"Is it a hollow?" Zommari asked.
"Who gives a shit what it is! I'm killing that freak show!" Nnoitra snapped. He pulled his Santa Teresa out from the debris and lunged at the creature. "I hope you don't hold it against me if you die!"
The weapon slammed down on its target, but instead of cutting it in half it only got stuck in the liquid body. It slowly started to pull it inside of it.
"What the— let go of my Zanpakuto you ugly shit!" Nnoitra turned to the others. "A little help here!"
"Reckless fool." Halibel said. In one quick motion she jumped up and pulled Nnoitra out.
"Damn it.. a freaking woman saved me." Nnoitra muttered. He was obviously not grateful.
"Okay, my turn!" Grimmjow said, charging for the monster. "Unlike you Nnoitra I don't have girly hands, I'll cut that bastard into bits!"
"I hope it swallows your dumbass up!" Nnoitra barked.
Grimmjow swung his Zanpakuto onto it, but the monster intercepted it and tossed Grimmjow aside; breaking even more of the place.
"It's quite powerful." Aizen said.
"Actually those two are just pathetic." Barragan replied.
Yammy smirked and cracked his knuckles. "It's time for some muscle power." He charged forward and crashed his fist onto the creature's belly.
Unfortunately it had no effect and began sucking Yammy inside of him.
"Get your ass off me you slimeball!"
Ulquiorra jumped forward and pulled Yammy out. "Don't be so careless you fool."
"Whoa, thanks for that Ulquiorra."
The monster abruptly stopped and inhaled a huge amount of air.
"Uh oh, what's it doing?" Yammy asked.
"Could it be... blowing a cero?" Zommari said.
The monster blew out a huge gust of air, causing them to almost fly out. Much to their horror the air had a secondary effect.
"Eww! Nasty!" Nnoitra retched. "That shit stinks!"
Starrk covered his nose with his arm. "Damn that's one horrible smell."
"Oh man I think I'm gonna freaking barf!" Grimmjow said.
Halibel was glad her jacket was zipped up to cover her nose, because that smell really was awful.
Yammy stuck his head out the broken hole in the wall. "Shit I need air." The others quickly joined him.
The creature screeched loudly and grew several feet higher, it's head breaking the ceiling.
"Enough of this playtime," Aizen said, losing his patience. "Kill it already."
"I'll blast it away with my cero, nothing can survive one," Nnoitra boasted. He opened his mouth and immediately slammed it down when a horrible taste entered his taste buds.
"Ahhh! I can taste it!" He rushed over to the hole to do what they all assumed was puking.
"How embarrassing." Aaroniero said.
"I'll finish the job." Ulquiorra stated. An immense mass of energy generated in his palm before he blasted it towards the monster.
This time the creature was unable to evade it due to its large body; it was a direct hit.
"Nice shot!" Grimmjow said.
At that moment Szayel jumped down from the ceiling with his Zanpakuto, no longer with Nel.
"Okay listen up—" he paused to examine the monster lying beaten on the floor. "Oh..."
"You're late." Aizen said.
Szayel panicked as the monster began glowing. His fear was coming true.
"That shit ain't looking so good," Yammy said, now taking notice of the glowing.
"What's wrong with it?" Halibel asked, her attention on Szayel. She realized this must've been one of his creations.
Szayel was actually scared now. "I had planted a device on that thing, should the time come when that thing was beaten... it'd detonate."
Grimmjow's mouth went agape. "Are you telling me that big ass shit has a bomb inside of it?!"
"How long?" Ulquiorra asked tonelessly.
A beat of sweat rolled down Szayel. "About fifteen seconds."
The others slowly exchanged looks. Then the hall erupted in a chaotic, mad dash for the only exit— the broken hole in wall. Nnoitra leapt over and tripped on some debris. Grimmjow rushed forward along with Barragan, stomping over Nnoitra on the way, and the two became sandwiched in the hole.
"Get the hell out the way!" Barragan shouted.
"You've already lived a billion years you old bastard!"
Ulquiorra went towards the stuck pair in the hole and delivered a solid kick to their rears, un-wedging them and motioning for Aizen.
Halibel merely stared at the spectacle before walking over to the other side of the room and breaking another hole in the wall with her Zanpakuto.
Starrk, Yammy, Zommari, Aaroniero, and Szayel jumped down from Halibel's way.
Poor Nnoitra had finally gotten up from being stomped on, only to hear a tick.
"Oh fu—"
(BOOOOOMMMM!)
The entire Las Noches blew apart sending the poor unsuspecting housemates flying out along with the two intruders.
"Shit that was close." Yammy said.
Starrk whistled at the sight. "There's something you don't see everyday."
"Our household has just been destroyed and all you could do is make a joke?!" Barragan retorted.
Nnoitra dusted himself off. "Thanks for the assistance you bastards!"
Aizen crouched down between what was left of his castle. He picked up one of the broken pieces off the pile before crushing it in his hands. To think all this was caused by one of his own subordinates and not the Soul Reapers.
He turned to face Szayel with a very unhappy expression. "I believe you have some explaining to do."
Author's Notes
And that my friends is how you lose a castle in one day. Aizen won't be pleased at all.
See you champs later.
