News traveled fast. Unusually fast. Within the hour, Hueco Mundo managed to hear about the Zanpakuto uprising occurring in Seireitei. The Espada didn't think much of it-it didn't concern them anyways. Aizen, however, thought of it as a wonderful opportunity to recruit and attack. He had made that much clear. Even if there was a constant possibility that this was only a cover up plan and he had secret motives. As always. Sometimes, Ulquiorra wished he had never accepted the offer to power and thoughts. But it wasn't as if he could voice that. Despite appearances, he wasn't suicidal.

Yammy nudged him.

"Yes?" Ulquiorra inquired without turning.

"Do you think he'll let us kill a few beforehand?" Yammy asked. Ulquiorra resisted the urge to sigh. Typical foolish Yammy. Trash.

"Did you not listen to instructions? Aizen-Sama clearly stated we may kill resistors." Leaving Yammy to his squeals of joy, Ulquiorra walked on. Was it just him, or was he the only one with something remotely resembling sanity here? No, it couldn't be just him. Just slightly behind him, he could hear Szayel muttering about all the potential new lab rats.

Trash, he thought as he silently closed the door.

It wasn't long before the expected summons came. As Aizen's most trusted servant, Ulquiorra was naturally given the mission to observe the Zanpakuto. The usefulness of having video cameras for eyes also helped, at least, that's what Gin had told him. Then again, what were video cameras? Even if they existed, he wasn't sure Gin's words could be trusted.

"Shinigami Zanpakuto are different from yours. Arrancar Zanpakuto change their bodies' appearance when released. Shinigami Zanpakuto only adds attacking power. There is also something called Bankai. It is the ultimate release." That was what Aizen had said. They sound like a boatload of trash, Ulquiorra thought. They wouldn't even provide one second's entertainment. Shaking his head, Ulquiorra chided himself for thinking like that cotton candy haired idiot.

"Open the fucking Garganta already, you fucking barbie!" Grimmjow shouted at Szayel. Think of the devil, and he shall cuss. If he had emotions, Ulquiorra would probably have laughed. But, since he's an apathetic bat, he didn't. He only glared at Grimmjow until he settled down. Trash. Nonetheless, trash that was very important to Aizen. He needed to save the pawns for the Winter War.

"Let's go," he said quietly. So the three Espada set off to capture a bunch of Zanpakuto that may or may not blindly attack and kill everything within five mile radius.

Where did Aizen hear the news from again?

A/N: Yes, this is Ulquiorra/Sode no Shirayuki. Are you shocked? Good. They have compatibility though, admit it. They have more compatibility than a whole lot of the pairings. No offense.

Parody Thingy:

Pie: We're changing our pen name!

Demon-Pixie: To 'Taller Than Thou and Shorter Than Thou'

Pie: We'll still call ourselves our usual nicknames; it's just the pen name that'll change. Don't worry, it's still us!

Demon-Pixie: By the way, this idea came from the weird 'what if two and one ended up together' things that I did.
