Hazardous Adventure


Chapter 2: Home Sweet Home

Szayel wanted to crawl under a rock right now. The espada along with Aizen were all glaring holes onto him. The other clueless arrancar were yelling out obscenities in the background.

"It wasn't my fault lord Aizen," Szayel explained lamely.

"Oh yeah, well who else has their weird ass science projects in here!" Yammy barked.

"You better pull a damn rabbit out your hat and fix this shit!" Nnoitra added.

"Depending on what you say I may snap your neck." Grimmjow said.

Aizen raised his arm up and shushed his angry espada. "Now, now, I'm sure he has a 'very good' explanation."

"Um, you see..." Szayel trailed off, unable to find a good answer.

"Well," Aaroniero said impatiently. "We're waiting."

"Like I said it wasn't my fault, I didn't mean to destroy Las Noches." Szayel said.

"My, my, my, what happened?" Gin asked as he approached the group, sporting a bump on his head. "One minute I'm in my room and the next I'm flying into a pillar."

"Apparently Szayel happened." Zommari replied.

"There was a situation and I was distracted." Szayel said. He couldn't exactly say that it was Nel since he'd probably only get reprimanded for such a ridiculous excuse. "Some stupid arrancar stormed into my lab, ignoring my sign and startled me. That caused my, er... unfinished project to be unleashed."

"Did you at least capture the perpetrator?" Ulquiorra asked.

"Um, no. You see, he got eaten by the monster."

"Damn, poor sucker." Grimmjow muttered.

"My question is why would you set it to explode in fifteen seconds rather than instantly, not that I'm not relieved." Halibel added.

"It was just a prototype at the moment and I wasn't finished with it." Szayel replied.

"I think the better question would be what's going to happen now?" Barragan asked.

"The whole freaking place is broken thanks to your 'experiment'." Grimmjow said, using air quotes for emphasis.

"This ain't somethin' that could be fixed in a day." Gin added.

"Great, just fucking great!" Yammy complained.

Nnoitra sat himself down on one of the walls embedded on the ground. "So we gotta freaking sleep outside?!"

"How damn troublesome." Starrk said with a yawn.

"Nice going Szayel." Aaroniero growled.

Szayel frowned. "I told you it wasn't my fault."

"Well you're the only one left to blame since the guy got his ass eaten." Nnoitra added.

"We could just rent a hotel in the human world," Gin joked.

Starrk chuckled. "Good one."

"Actually," Aizen suddenly said. "It's not a bad idea."

"Not a bad idea, we can't just all enter a hotel and say 'hey we'd like a room for a thousand arrancar'." Grimmjow retorted.

Aizen gave him a serious look which clammed him right up. "Do you have a better idea than, Grimmjow?"

"Heh, on second thought that sounds like a brilliant idea."

"I thought as much. Now we can't all go or we'll obviously attract attention, therefore I've decided on only taking my espada along with you Gin. The rest shall be under strict orders to fix this place, I'll leave the authority here to Tousen."

"I shall inform him right away my lord." Ulquiorra said, disappearing from the place.

"But won't the Soul Reapers sense our presence?" Halibel asked.

"And, what are ya chicken?" Nnoitra retorted.

Halibel frowned. "You obviously misunderstood my question."

"I know how to solve this," Szayel called out, happy to make up for this in some way. "I had luckily prepared for something like this."

"What, you knew you'd explode our house eventually," Grimmjow mocked.

"No, I meant I had prepared for if we were to ever travel into the human world."

"Let's hear it." Gin said.

"Fine, there's just one problem," Szayel scratched his head timidly. "It's in my lab."

"..."


Szayel returned moments later with the bag of materials and had managed to fix his beaten up body along the way.

"Okay, this is one of my many creations," Szayel pulled out a small dark pill from the bag and held it in front of them. "It works almost like a reverse Gikongan that Soul Reapers use, only it's NOT one. It's my own work."

"How exactly does it work?" Zommari asked.

"I see a demonstration is in order, any volunteers?"

Aizen turned to Nnoitra. "Go Nnoitra."

"Why should I do it?!"

Halibel smirked. "What are you, chicken?"

Nnoitra angrily gritted his teeth and snatched the pill. "Gimme that shit! So want do I do?"

"Simply swallow it."

Nnoitra swallowed the pill and waited for its effects to take over. "So how long does—"

Suddenly he found himself flying out of his body and falling onto the floor, wearing a white shirt, shorts, and black sandles. His original body had disappeared. He felt a huge amount of pain surge through his body and soon found himself unable to breathe; he tossed about in his now human body.

"Ahh yes, how could I forget the atmosphere here is unsuitable for humans." Szayel said calmly.

"How do you remove the pill?" Barragan replied.

"Yeah, spoony ain't looking so good." Yammy added, eying the pale Nnoitra gasping for air.

"Well... I never expected to use this, so I didn't quite finish this experiment."

"My, I think he could die." Gin murmured worriedly.

"Oh he's fine, I didn't say I had no backup plan," Szayel assured. He picked up the human Nnoitra and slammed a hard punch onto his stomach, making him spit up the pill. His human body disappeared and Nnoitra returned to his regular body.

Instantly Nnoitra began breathing in hard. "You freaking psychopath! I almost drowned in the damn sand!"

"Oh relax, you're fine now."

"That's quite the project Szayel, besides the method of removing the pill it's remarkable. Unlike the Gikongan, it doesn't leave your body carelessly on the floor." Aizen said.

"Thank you, as I had said it works almost like a reverse Gikongan, it separates the arrancar from their bodies and onto the pseudo body." Szayel replied.

"What's this pill called?" Starrk asked.

"It's called the arrancar pill, it's simple and to the point." Szayel answered. He pulled out a white pill from the bag. "This one you see here is for the females to take."

"Alright show and tell is over now, so can we move it already?" Barragan said impatiently.

"You have ten minutes to salvage what ever you can off the wreckage and return back here, now go." Aizen said.

They each wondered back to find what ever they could. Afterwards they returned with a few bags.

Aizen opened a garganta. "Once we're there you'll mask your spiritual pressure until we've all eaten an arrancar pill."

"Right!" They said. None of them had noticed that a small girl had been eavesdropping. She snuck into Yammy's huge duffel bag.

All of them soon jumped down and landed on Karakura Town, luckily for them it was late at night so almost nobody would be awake. They had landed on a secluded alleyway.

"Okay Szayel, hand them out." Aizen ordered.

Szayel nodded and handed Aizen the first one, before giving the others their own one.

One by one they each popped out of their bodies and onto their human forms with Aaroniero taking the form of Kaien.

Grimmjow shifted uncomfortably in his. "It kind of feels weird, maybe it's the lack of hollow hole or mask."

"I don't know, it seems alright to me." Yammy replied.

"Bare in mind that while in this body your powers will be toned down to about five percent, this is so we do not cause a scene or die by get ourselves runned over." Szayel said.

"Fair enough." Halibel replied.

"How exactly are we going to do this, we have no money?" Gin asked.

Aizen stopped momentarily. "Hmm... good question."

"Oh give my ass a break already." Starrk muttered. "I don't think it could possibly get any worse."

A plop of rain fell onto his hand and seconds later they were running in search for cover from the pouring rain. It came in the form of Yammy holding up an abandoned table over them.

"Way to jinx us Starrk." Grimmjow growled.

"Where are we anyway?" Barragan said.

"Looks like we're in the dumps." Aaroniero replied. Indeed the area they were on was one of the poor parts of Karakura.

"We need money A-S-A fucking- P." Yammy said.

Nnoitra frowned. "I'll get us some money." He picked up a garbage can and slammed it against a candy store window, breaking it on impact.

The store's alarm instantly went off.

Aizen's eyes widened. "Quick Nnoitra, get the money from the cash register!"

Nnoitra looked around cluelessly. "What's a cash register?"

Aizen resisted the urge to facepalm and rushed inside.

"Oooh do get me some pocky while you're in there Aizen." Gin called out.

Once Aizen had the money and the pocky he and Nnoitra ran out the window.

"Quick, bail." Aizen said as he heard the sirens. They quickly bolted away from the scene like any other criminal would do. Yammy took the table of course.

Now at a safe distance Aizen handed the pocky to Gin and turned to his group. "We don't have much, so we'll be staying at a very cheap hotel in order to preserve some money."

"I'm assuming we have to find one." Halibel said.

"Unfortunately yes." Aizen replied.

Starrk yawned. "Man I'm so tired."

"No kidding," Grimmjow agreed. "I just wanna crash already."

"Than I suggest we hurry and find this 'hotel' already." Zommari suggested.

"Yeah cos' we stick out like a sore thumb." Gin joked. It was true, if one were to see them they'd think they were some gang members or a rock band.

The search lasted twenty minutes until they were able to find a cheap rundown hotel.

"Ahh finally, I shall book us in." Aizen said.

Yammy tossed the table away. "Finally."

"You're kidding me, this place is a total dump." Nnoitra complained.

The walls were damaged, dented, and there was a horrible odor around the place.

"Would you rather sleep outside than?" Aizen asked.

"Honestly... yeah I would."

Aizen sighed and walked in, motioning for them to follow.

"Hey, I can't fit in that tiny ass door!" Yammy snapped.

Grimmjow began laughing. "Maybe there's a nice doghouse for you around here."

"Kiss my ass bastard!"

Aizen pinched the bridge of his nose. "Szayel I don't suppose you prepared for this."

"Now that you mention it, yes I did. I knew a thing like this might occur." Szayel said. "I had designed a special arrancar pill made specifically for Yammy." He took out a black and white pill and handed it to Yammy. "Go ahead, swallow it."

Yammy swallowed it down and his body began taking a different form. His size and muscles reduced considerably, he now stood about the same height and build as Grimmjow.

"Not to bad I suppose." Yammy murmured. "A little weird but not to bad."

"Good, now we can enter." Ulquiorra said, truth was he was now losing his patience. All he wanted to do was rest.

Inside was just as bad as the outside. There were several chipped walls, cockroaches crawling around, and spiders hanging from the ceiling.

Starrk sighed. "I don't think it could possibly—" He was cut off by Grimmjow elbowing him.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence."

The lady handed Aizen their room key. "Just head up those stairs."

"Yo woman," Nnoitra called out rudely. "Tell me where's the can?"

The lady pointed to a door. "Bathroom is right there."

"Oh no that won't do." Szayel said in disgust. "I can't share a bathroom with you people!"

"Deal with it." The lady said before returning to her magazine.

Aizen led them up to their rooms. Several men began eying Halibel suggestively.

"—hey baby."

"—nice legs ya got there honey."

Halibel simply ignored them.

"They're a lively bunch." Gin said, trying to lighten the mood.

"More like a nuisance." Barragan added bitterly.

Aizen placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry for these horrible conditions, I assure you it's only temporary."

"Right, I'll take your word and deal with it for now." Halibel replied.

"—how's about coming here for some fun."

"—ditch those losers and come over here."

That set Grimmjow off like a rocket, as well as Nnoitra and Yammy. The three approached the man.

"Care to repeat that?" Grimmjow pulled the petrified man by his shirt. "What's wrong pansy, where's your talk now?!"

Nnoitra turned to the other men in the hall. "Yo, listen up bums! From now on this is our hotel if you got a problem with that you can suck it!"

"Yeah, we're calling the shots here. So don't bother with my partner over here, cos' she ain't interested." Yammy added, pointing to Halibel.

Soon everyone had cowered back into their rooms.

Nnoitra smirked. "Oh yeah, we still got it."

"Good job my dear espada," Aizen praised as they reached their door. "Now let us rest."

Their good mood immediately went down the drain once the door was opened.

"You gotta be shitting me!" Nnoitra snapped.

The room was very small and dirty, with only one room in it and a couch.

"Perhaps with a few work it can look like wonders." Gin said.

"Somehow I doubt that." Starrk replied.

"Here's how we'll do this," Aizen started. "I will take the room obviously, Halibel shall take the couch and the rest of you will sleep on the floor."

Gin chuckled. "Like a slumber party?"

"If you want to call it that you could," Aizen responded before facing the clock dangling on the wall. "Now it's been a long day, so I don't want to hear any complaints..." he paused.

"I hope you brought your blankets and pillows."

They each placed their blankets on the floor and were able to make a makeshift bed. Each pulled out their pillow and placed it down as well. Yammy hadn't even noticed that his bag wasn't as heavy as before or that Nel was recently hiding in it.

Szayel and Ulquiorra had moved the furniture away to create more room, while Zommari and Aaroniero spread the blankets and arranged the pillows, and lastly Nnoitra kicked the bugs away.

"Firstly, does anyone need to use the facility?" Aizen asked.

"Nah I'm good." Nnoitra said.

"Me too." Starrk added.

"Good, now it's 1am so I'm off to bed."

"Hey, I'm not really tired." Grimmjow said as he sat on the set of blankets.

"Well I am." Aizen replied. "I'll be in the room sleeping, try to get some rest." With that he left them to do as they pleased.

"Anyone know a good scary story?" Gin said.

"We're espada you know, we're basically as scary as they get." Starrk replied.

"I got one," Nnoitra hissed as he flung away a spider. "This hotel room, it's a nightmare."

"Can we sleep already?" Barragan muttered.

"I got a story." Yammy said. "There were these three hollows— no wait... I think they were humans. Fuck they weren't humans... shit, how did it go again?"

"Enough, it's time to sleep." Ulquiorra ordered.

"Finally!" Barragan snapped and he flicked the lights off.

Halibel pulled her sleep mask on and laid down on the couch.

The order on the floor was Grimmjow, than Zommari, than Yammy, than Ulquiorra, than, Nnoitra, than Starrk, than Gin, than Aaroniero, than Szayel, and on the edge was Barragan.

It was quiet until Grimmjow interrupted loudly.

"I'm letting all of ya' know I don't swing 'that' way, so if any of you make with the grabby hands I'll rip you apart."

"Don't flatter yourself."

"Shut up Ulquiorra."

"Yo Ulquiorra, you mind moving over a bit," Yammy whispered.

Ulquiorra moved.

"Man it's to cramped here," Nnoitra whined, flinging his arm over his head and accidentally hitting Halibel on her stomach.

"Ow..."

"Oh shit, sorry."

"Silence!" Aizen yelled from inside the room.

Slowly they began falling asleep one by one. For a few hours they all slept like babies. It wasn't until the clock hit 4:45am that they were abruptly woken up by a disgusted yell.

"Gaahhh!"

"What the hell is your problem Szayel?!" Nnoitra shouted.

"A spider was on my face."

"Give me a break already," Starrk groaned and he clamped his pillow over his head.


Author's Notes

Life in the human world ain't as easy as they thought it'd be, especially when your living in it as humans. Will these guys make it out alive, who knows... oh wait I do.
