CHAPTER 3 Revenge is near.
It's kinda funny to know I'm free… I looked around for a moment and it all looks the same from long ago. I turn my back and notice the tall structure behind me. "The Citadel… A scary place to be." I tell myself.
I slowly begin to walk forward then sonidoing myself. I can't stop thinking about my past. I lost everything and now I'm an outcast to Aizen's army. It's incredible how fast it came to me. I won't forget about finding this intruder and joining up with him and his companions. I move towards the palace, knowing my adventure is just beginning.
I come close to the walls of this great palace of Hueco Mundo. I halt myself from my sonido, looking up at the mighty gate of Hueco Mundo. Obviously, it's been activated on high alert do to the intruders. I step up to it, resting my hand against it.
"I am home… You may let me pass, Gatekeeper…" I whisper. A thunderous voice is heard, "Masa Kumasaka! Your current exile is not tolerated here! Leave now before serious measures may occur on you!" I shake my head.
"I don't give a rat's ass on measures, gatekeeper. You know you cannot defeat an Ex-Espada. If you don't let me at once I will BREAK you." After that it remained so silent, all that was heard was wind. Suddenly, the wall begins to shake. A large opening appears and there stood an Arrancar with a full mask that was shaped like a Crusader Knight's helmet. He holds a white mace in his hand, "Proceed forward…" the gatekeeper cautiously says.
I walk towards him and move pass him when he suddenly informs me something, "You do realize Lord Aizen is not going to be here for long." I turn around, looking at him, "What do you mean, he won't be here for long? What is he doing this time?"
The gatekeeper simply peers his light yellow eyes out at me, "I refuse to inform you the rest. However, I will tell you the intruders are WITHIN Hueco Mundo as we speak."
That got me stunned, knowing that I've been trapped that long in the Citadel… "Where is the main one, Ichigo Kurosaki?" I ask him. He slowly replies, "I don't know…" he says.
I turn around, "So, why aren't you fighting me anyways gatekeeper? " I question him. He turns around to return to his post, "I respect you as a previous espada so I will excuse you from the misery. Plus, I'd be wasting my time when I could be waiting for other things to occur," he quickly says. I smile slowly, "Thank you, gatekeeper. Even though you are still loyal to Aizen I respect you out of the few Arrancars with our ranks. May strong spirit energy be with you," I wisely tell him. He simply nods and I sonido off.
I get out of that one easily but what is going to be waiting ahead? I continue traveling when I finally hit the light… The scene became very instant when I arrived. A fight is occurring…
A bloodied panther-like figure and a Shinigami with a white mask is above me very far across. I could just smell the blood in the air. The shinigami charges into this panther arrancar and it ends quickly. I came here at the last minute.
Ironically enough, this arrancar was Grimmjow… Once a higher up numbered arrancar obviously proven to be powerful to be an espada is seen fallen from the hands of a Shinigami. Pitful. I watch as this intruder brings down the pathetic warrior.
After resting him down, he flies himself up to another person… Weird though, she wears an Arrancar's outfit… Doesn't matter. I kept my eye up there carefully when they started chit chatting. I sonido myself far away on a tower, keeping my keen hawk eyes on them.
Suddenly, he gets charged in the stomach by…. Wait… What? A childish arrancar. How is that…? Possible? He yells loudly at the child and comes back over towards the girl. They eventually grab each other's hand and brings them both down eventually.
I kept my distance very far where I could be noticed. I stand on a tower in the sand just watching the scene. I find it amazing how these beings be peaceful. However, I saw the corpse get up. Grimmjow obviously was being an idiot. "This isn't over!" he was saying. When he charges into the Shinigami with a surprising grab.
They chattered a bit but then Grimmjow goes in for another blow after pushing the Shinigami slightly, "NEVER! I'LL SHOW YOU!" I quickly shake my head and sonido in quickly. I stand in front of the Shinigami and suddenly block Grimmjow's attack. I keep my defense decent for the weak foe.
"Who the hell?" the shinigami says quickly. I quickly shove Grimmjow with great spiritual pressure and send him flying far. He'd hit a tower and crash his back into the tower causing him to be in a crater…
The Shinigami looks stunned as I turn around. He quickly brings his sword up, "Who the hell are you?!" he quickly demands. I raise my sword up at him, "The question is, who are you? Are you the intruder I've been told about by so many?" I ask him.
He looks aggravated and yells, "Yeah! I am… Are you a damn Espada?!" I give him a blank expression, turning my shoulder towards him to show him my number seven tattoo. The Shinigami, the girl, and the young arrancar looked shocked. "I am Masa Kumasaka… Ex-Espada of Aizen's army."
He looked shocked but gripped his sword, "A-Are you a friend or a foe?!" he asks loudly. I smile and slide my sword in, "Friend, shinigami." The shinigami becomes even more shocked knowing that I put my weapon into the sheath. He lowers his weapon down, "How can I trust, Masa?" he asks with a cautious tone.
I glare at him, "Because I was betrayed by Aizen. I am here to assist you." I explain to him. He nods, "My name's Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Soul Reaper." I quickly widen my eyes, "Ahhh, you are Ichigo. It's an honor friend."
Suddenly, this young arrancar approaches in front of me. I quickly become shocked from how she looked, could this be…? "Neliel..? Is that you?" I ask as she stands in front of me.
She looks confused, she points to herself, "Are you talking to Nel?" I get on one knee to get to her level, "N-Neliel, it really is you!" Ichigo looks confused, "Wait you know each other?" he asks.
I look to Ichigo with a pale look, "S-She was my friend long ago… When she was an espada as well…" I tell him. Ichigo quickly becomes stunned, "Wait, that can't be! Nel's only a kid! She's not an espada!"
Neliel looks confused, "Nel doesn't know what you are talking about Hawky…" I quickly look at her, "Neliel! Please, you must remember me! You were Espada number three! You taught me knowledge of not being a harsh person!"
She looks at me with a lost look, "N-Nel is sorry… Nel doesn't know who you are…" I quickly looked to her with a sadden look and stand up. I felt completely stupid.
I heard a long chain travel from the distance, coming towards Ichigo… I quickly unsheathe my sword and sonido beside him and block this effective sneak attack. The weapon was strong and I was shaking from the block. "Damn! You got in the way you fool!" the familiar voice says and pulls his weapon back.
I grind my teeth and look at the foe when suddenly I caught his face. It was… Nnoirta! He grins at me, "Ahhhh Masa! You returned from your prison!" he says, welcoming me back home.
I quickly draw my towards him in a calm matter, "I have unsettled business with you, fool." I taunted. He simply smiles, "Not just yet…" When suddenly, he rises a cubed-shaped square out of his hand, quickly sent towards my chest and through my jacket. It quickly enters my hollow hole and begins to enclose me, "FUCK!" The girl that Ichigo rescued yells, "Masa!" and he walls surround me. I quickly become engulfed and see myself flying into another dimension.
Not this stupid punishment crap… I've been devoured by the Negation box. I hover around the empty space, "DAAAAMN YOU!" I yell. Obviously I cannot escape unless I meditate but that'll take too long. I sigh to myself and sit down. I have no choice but to meditate. I cross my legs together and close my eyes, "Halcon guide me out…" I whisper.
After a long time of talking with Halcon, a gateway opens in this empty space of nothing. I quickly stand up and smile, "Thank you Halcon!" sprinting myself out. I stand far away from the group, actually on a tower now. I look down and become shocked. Ichigo is seen wounded on the ground. I was shocked by the scene but when I turned towards the new fight… I stood frozen, Neliel is back… She seems to be in her released form.
Neliel is seen gripping her lancer and throwing it into the helpless beast. He blocks quickly and attempts to hold it but flies with the lancer into the wall… I grinned in this violence occurring. She walks up there slowly, pulling the lancer out of him. I lay down to listen, "Relax, I don't intend on killing you." Says lady Neliel. She takes a step back and charges her lancer in but it all happened terribly.
A pop is heard as she returns to her child state. I quickly stood there in shock like the rest… He quickly stands before her and grins. He begins laughing, "You're right! It is over!" and quickly kicks her like a ball in the air. I quickly grew anger, "NNOIRTA!" as the whole area becomes sensed with strong spiritual pressure. Everyone becomes shaken by the amount of pressure.
I sonido very quickly down and grab Neliel as she is flying and hold her tight. She weakly looks up at me, "M-Masa…?" and I stop myself a distance from the demon. I look at her with a worried look, "Neliel… I am sorry for this happening to you. This was all my fault."
She weakly smiles, "N-No, it's not Masa… Nel isn't mad at you…" I looked at her with a sad look almost, and place her down. She doesn't seem totally hurt but stands, looking up at me. "Neliel, go hide please… I promise to avenge you." She gives me a shocked expression and quickly nods. Running off behind a rock.
I turn to the Fraccion of Nnoirta's and grin sinfully towards him, sonidoing myself instantly behind him as he keeps the girl in a hostage position. I quickly glide my sword through his neck and clean right through, cutting the fool's head off. The girl looks extremely scared and frozen like a deer in headlights.
His head slowly falls off and his corpse falls down, releasing the girl. I walk beside her, "Don't worry, he won't ever hurt you again. Heal Ichigo while I take care of this punkass." I tell her. She glares at me and nods, "O-Okay," running over to Ichigo and performing an odd ability on him.
I walk forward towards Nnoirta and he looks more pissed then before, "Damn it… You fucking trash just killed my servant," he snarls. I look at him with a deadly look, "Nnoirta, you sorry sack of shit… First, you fuck up Ichigo while you discard me, then you kick Neliel after she becomes completely defenseless. You are truly the fucking TRASH!" I scream.
He simply smiles at me, "If you believe I'm the trash then why don't you throw me away?" he tauntingly says. I grip Halcon's handle and slowly pull it out, holding it in one hand. "That's why I'm here asshole… To finish what YOU'VE started."
The scene goes black and a song called The Chosen Ones by Dream Evil plays… To be very continued.
