きつねの再誕
The Kitsune's Rebirth
Chapter 3
Previously: Once I knew that I had the arrancars' undivided attention, I said, "I need to know who my potential comrades are, what they are capable of, and their ambitions." After he heard this, Aizen smiled and said, "Of course, it is only natural to want to know who you can trust. So, Espada, introduce yourselves to our newest recruit."
"Well, how about you go first, just so we know what to say," said a very tired and lazy man with a small girl who looks like nothing more than a child standing next to him. "Very well, as you already know, my name is Ulquiorra Cifer. My main power is regeneration. Unlike most hollows, who would rather trade their regenerative capabilities for raw power, I kept mine. Unfortunately, I don't have any ambitions at the moment, but if I do think of any, I will let you know." After he was finished yawning, the lazy man nodded and said, "I guess I've got to go next. I am the Primera Espada, Coyote Starrk, and this girl beside me is Lilynette Gingerback. I don't really have a power per say if I am fighting alone, but if Lilynette and I use our resurreccion, Los Lobos, our true power is unleashed. Our only ambition is to never die in a fight." A very old man with a large scar over his left eye grunted, and then said, "I am the Segunda Espada, Barragan Louisenbairn, and my resurreccion is called Arrogante. My ambition is to never lose my title as the 'King of the Hollows'." I nodded, and then I looked at the next Espada, who was a very well-built woman. "I am known as Tier Halibel, also known as the Tercera Espada, and my power is known as Tiburon. I am also the only female Espada to be recruited in about five hundred thousand years. My only ambition is to always show respect to my subordinates, and to Aizen-sama." An extremely tall man laughed while he walked up to me, and then said, "My name is Nnoitra Gilga, Espada number five, and my resurreccion is named Santa Teresa. You would do well not to forget it, runt. I don't have any ambitions, because they will become a reality! I want to become the strongest hollow to ever exist, and I will fight the strongest to achieve it!" By this time, I had stopped listening to Nnoitra and was looking at the blue-haired man who had yelled at me when I first arrived. The man then said, "I am Espada number six, Grimmjow Jaegerjaques. My resurreccion is called Pantera. My ambition is to become the best, and I'm willing to fight the best to do so." The next man in the lineup was very quiet, and could be called a recluse when he was compared to his colleagues. "I am known as Zommari Rureaux, Espada number seven. My power is known as Brujeria, and my only ambition is to serve lord Aizen till the day that I die." A man with pink hair and glasses spoke up after Zommari, and he said, "The name is Szayel Aporro Granz. I am Espada number eight, and my resurreccion is named La Lujuriosa. My only dream is to spend my life experimenting and researching until the day that I will know everything that this world has to offer." The next man, if you could call him that, was almost an entirely different species when he was compared to the rest. He then spoke in an eerie, two-layered voice, and said, "My name is Aaroniero Arruruerie, also known as Espada number nine. I am also the only Espada that is still at Gillian level. My power's name is Glotoneria, and just like you, I don't have any ambitions to speak of."Finally, the last of the Espada started to speak, and he said, "I am Espada number ten, Yammy Llargo. My resurreccion is called Ira, and my ambition is to follow any order that Aizen-sama may give." After everything was said and done, I was satisfied with the information I had received. At least until another thought popped into my head. I decided to voice my thoughts aloud, and directed my next question towards Aizen himself. "I noticed that all of the Espada have numbers. Do these have any special significance?" Aizen nodded, and then said, "They show the rankings of the Espada, and range from one to ten. Ten is the weakest ranking, while one is the strongest." I then nodded to show that I understood him, but I was still slightly confused. "I also noticed that there wasn't an Espada with the rank of fourth. Why is that, exactly?" Aizen replied, "That position will be filled by you of course." This reply would've surprised the past me, but I was actually expecting it. "Thank you, Aizen-sama, for allowing me to join the ranks of the Espada. I will gladly serve you, and will follow all of your orders to the best of my abilities. Oh, I completely forgot about something. I actually do have a, resurreccion, is that what you call it?" Aizen was quite surprised at this because none of the Espada that he had recruited was ever able to use their resurreccion this quickly. So, Aizen asked the question on everybody's mind, "Well then, Ulquiorra, do you think you could enlighten us with the name of your resurreccion?" Due to my reputation for being completely devoid of emotion, the next thing that I did managed to frighten all of the Espada. Even the battle-hardened Barragan was afraid, if only slightly. What could I have done to scare them all like this, you may ask? Well the answer to that question is simple. They were afraid because I smiled. I then said, "The name of my resurreccion is Murciealgo."
