Meanwhile in the world of the living. Motaro was still continuing his search for the item which Nightmare had sent him to find. He had looked all over in many different likely spots, but he had not found anything resembling the item he was after.
But little did Motaro know was that he had been noticed. While he was very big, he could move around very freely and with much grace. He was also very good at hiding his spiritual pressure, so as he would not be picked up by anyone who might want to fight him and stall him from his mission. But somehow his energy was noticed and now a small team was after him.
On a small hill exiting from a portal was this team, and they were the enemies of the soul reapers. They were the arrancars, but not just any arrancars these were the best of the best the espada. There were three of them. Espada number Seven Zommari, Espada number five Nnorita, and Espada number three Tia Harribel. And leading these Espada was an ex soul reaper Captain, Gin.
The four observed their surroundings, looking down into the city below.
"You expect we'll find him down there?" asked Zommari.
"This is where the scanners picked up the energy." told Harribel."Whoever he is, he's must be down there somewhere."
"I don't much like this search mission." complained Nnorita. Zommari and Harribel looked back at their irritated comrade.
"Then why come along?" asked Zommari.
"I'm waiting for the destroy part." Replied Nnorita as he raised his weapon.
"Now, now children." Said Gin as he stepped forward in-between the three."This is not the time to argue amongst ourselves. Lord Aizen has sent us on this mission, to find the source of the unidentified energy."
"How do we know it's not form that substitute soul reaper?" asked Nnorita.
"The scanners picked it up as unidentified." sold Harribel.
"We must be on our way if we are to find this person then." said Zommari as he looked down into the city below.
"Yes." said Gin."This way." And then the ex Captain of squad three ran off and the three Espada were quick to follow.
At that time Motaro was slinking his way around the city, until he ended up on a rooftop. It was now that he picked up the mass of energy. The centaur turned and looked out into the distance. Since he was on a rooftop he was able to see all around him.
Motaro put his head into the wind and sensed around for energies. They were trying to mask themselves so as to not be found by him; however Motaro was able to find them quickly.
"One." Motaro counted aloud."Two, Three." As he counted the different energies he had sensed."Four." Then Motaro looked out even further to see if he could find the four tracking him. "Had I Moloch with me." He said in his head." I would engage them, but I am alone today." Moloch then turned around and saw below him some trees and a park in the distance."I shall have to try and lose them." Then Motaro bounded from his spot onto the rooftop to the ground below.
"He's on the move." said Zommari as he noticed Motaro's energy moving.
"And the hunt is on." said Nnorita.
Motaro jumped down from the rooftop and into the safety of the trees. Although he was very big, the shadows of the trees covered him well. So then Motaro sat in wait, in the hopes that his followers would run right past him.
In a short time after, the party of four came down to the spot where Motaro had landed, and that's where Motaro got a first look at them.
He saw four people all wearing white, three men one female. One a tall black man, the other a skinny man with long black hair, the other man had purple hair that covered his eyes, and the female had blonde hair.
The four studied the ground; there was a large hoof print in the ground from where Motaro had landed.
"He must be quite big then." commented Zommari at the size of the hoof print. He then scanned the ground further, there were no other marks in the ground indicating where their target could have gone.
Tia Harribel looked at the trees. This is when Motaro sat down more. Harribel stepped closer to the trees. Motaro looked up and could see Harribel walking towards him.
Gin stepped forward and looked around. He saw the trees to his right, then at a large open field.
"If he's continued running." He said. All the espada turned to him. "He'll most likely stop soon. It's hard for someone that big to go unnoticed." Then Gin lead the group forward, away from the place where Motaro was hiding. Motaro was relived as he watched the group of four go, then he waited until they were out of sight before he could move.
Motaro rose up from his hiding spot, in the cover of the trees. Then he turned around. And there he saw his female follower, Tia Harribel. Motaro turned around fully and faced her. He was much bigger than her, however she did not falter in the face of a bigger opponent.
Then as Motaro looked around the other three following him appeared. Nnorita, Zommari, and Gin all appeared around him.
Motaro flashed his eyes to each of them.
"Well looks like we've found him." said Gin. Motaro drew his eyes over to the one who was talking."Who are you?"
The giant Minotaur made no reply, his yellow eyes glanced back and forth from Gin and the three Espada.
"It appears he cannot talk." said Zommari. Motaro now focused his attention over to the seventh Espada.
"Well if that's the case." said Nnorita as he walked forward. He was coming from behind Motaro, bearing his weapon."Let's see if we can make him talk." Then Nnorita continued to move forward.
"If you attack me." Motaro began turning his eyes over to the fifth Espada."You will not get up again."
"So the beast does speak." said Zommari.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked Harribel.
"It's none of your concern." replied Motaro.
"I'd rephrase my answer if I were you." said Nnorita. Motaro took a glance around at the three Espada. Each had their hands on their weapons. Motaro was outnumbered four to one, so a violent reaction wouldn't be the best idea for him. He would have to play smart if he wanted to get out of this alive and continue his mission.
"Stand down everyone. You're making him uncomfortable, and if you kill him we won't know why he's here." told Gin. The Espada listened and took their hands off their weapons; they did not want to anger Aizen's second in command."Now who are you?" asked Gin to Motaro.
"My name is Motaro." He told."And I am here on business matters." He would try to keep the details discrete, the little they knew the better.
"What kind of business?" asked Gin.
"It does not concern you." told Motaro. He noticed then that the Espada were on edge once again.
"But maybe it does." replied Gin.
"I'm looking for an item of great power." told Motaro. Following that all became silent. Gin and the Espada had an idea of the item Motaro spoke of. The Hogyoku.
"And what does this item look like?" asked Gin.
"It is a little thing. At first glance you might not realize it is capable of destructive power." replied Motaro. Suspicions began to grow amongst the Espada. They had the idea in their head that Motaro was a spy from the soul reapers, sent to find the Hogyoku. Or maybe he truly did know how to make the hogyoku more powerful.
Gin then motioned for the espada to take Motaro. The three circled around him.
"You will come with us." told Gin."And we will get to the bottom of this dilemma." Then a portal was opened and Gin stepped through it. Motaro made no objections; if these people had the item he was looking for he would certainly go with them.. However he wouldn't be alone for long. For while he stood there and spoke with Gin and the Espada he was really biding for time.
While they spoke, Motaro sent out small amounts of his energy and sent it back to Nightmare.
Nightmare still stood in the crossroads of the two realhms and then he became aware of Motaro's energy. Night mare then quickly stood up and opened a portal to see what had happened to Motaro.
Meanwhile the captured Motaro was led back to Hueco Munedo, the hideout of Aizen and his Espada.
As Motaro looked around he noticed the room to be very poorly lit, he also saw multiple other figures all wearing white around the room An old man, a man with brown hair and scruff on his chin, and a man with pink hair and glasses. They were Espadas 1 Coyote Stark, 2 Barragon Luisenbar, and 8 Szayel Aporro Grantz. One of the stood high above all the others in a large chair.
"Aizen." Said Gin, the man in the large chair stirred and looked down at them."We discovered this creature in the world of the living and brought him back."
"Who are you?" asked Aizen.
"I am Motaro." said the Minotaur.
"And what brings you here?" asked Aizen.
'I'm looking for something." told Motaro."An item of immense power." The felling in the room now changed as Aizen to thought that Motaro was after the Hogyoku.
"Said he could unlock its full power." told Gin. Aizen stirred some more in his chair. He reached around and pulled out a small item. Motaro was relived; he thought he had found the item and that his journey would come to an end. Aizen pulled out a small black cube; he then raised it up for Motaro to see. And then he tossed it down to the minotaur.
Motaro studied it for a few moments while everyone else watched on in anticipation. Then Motaro looked up at Aizen.
"This is not the item I seek." He said.
Just then a portal opened up behind Motaro. And then Nightmare stepped out.
"Who are you?" asked Gin. Nightmare made no reply, but instead only made his way over to Motaro.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I was taken by these people believing they had the item." told Motaro. Nightmare looked around at the people around them."This is what they gave me." said Motaro as he handed Nightmare a black cube known as the hogyoku. Nightmare took it and examined it In his hand.
"Your friend said it wasn't the item." Said Aizen."There is no item greater than the hogyoku."
"This is not the item we're looking for." Said Nightmare and then he proceeded to crush the cube in his hand. This sent shocks throughout the room.
"Do you know what you've done!" screamed Harribel.
"Don't care." Said Nightmare as he wiped the remains of the hogyoku onto Motaro's shoulder, and then the two turned to leave.
"Wait." called out Aizen. The two turned back to him."If the hogyoku is not what your after , what are you looking for?"
"A stall." Told Nightmare." About six feet tall, thin, red paint and gold on it." Aizen sat back scratching his head, making it seem as if he had heard of such a thing before. Nightmare noticed this and stepped backwards."Do you know of it?"
"Perhaps." Replied Aizen.
"Yes or no." said Nightmare. Then Motaro stood at his master's side. The Espada all rallied themselves.
"I'll make you a deal." said Aizen. Nightmare stood back."But first I would like to consult with both my underlings." Then Aizen turned to Gin."Where is Tousen?"
Just then the doors burst open and in walked Tousen.
"WHAT'S GOOD NIGGA!" he screamed upon entering the room."I'M BACK."
"He's here." Said Gin to Aizen. Tousen walked forward and then turned when he noticed Nightmare and Motaro.
"Nigga who the fuck are you?" he screamed spitting in Nightmare's face. Nightmare was slightly put off by the blind man's anger.
"Tousen come here." Said Aizen.
"I'll be back for yo ass." said Tousen to Nightmare, and then he turned and walked over to Aizen.
Aizen then got off his high chair and onto the ground with Gin and Tousen next to him.
"Here's what I'm thinking." whispered Aizen."I'm thinking these fellows could be quite valuable to our cause." He then waited for a response.
"I don't understand." said Gin. Aizen peered over and pointed to Nightmare and Motaro.
"These two have a strange vibe about them; they probably have a lot of power. And if they were to find this weapon we could utilize it to our advantage."
"Go on." said Gin as he was now beginning to understand. The Espada round them began to lean in and listen to see if they could pick up their words.
"I'll tell the item they're looking for is in the soul society." began Aizen."Then using them we'll launch an invasion and take out the soul society."
"But what if the items not in the soul society?" asked Gin."I never heard anything about it when we were there. And I'm sure they'll be angry if they know we used them."
"They." Said Aizen motioning over to Nightmare and Motaro." Won't know if it's there or not, I'll use that lie as leverage and they'll be forced to work for us. Then afterwards we'll deal with them accordingly. But think if it is there, if we get it first we could use it to our own use."
Gin stood for a few moments and analyzed the plan."Well I like it." said Gin." What about you Tousen?" Then Gin and Aizen turned over to see the spot Tousen once occupied however he wasn't there now. Then they looked up to see Tousen sitting in Aizen's chair.
"Yea, I like this." He said as he sat back in the chair."Nigga could get use to this." Gin and Aizen gave each other a straight look.
"You deal with him, I'll deal with them." said Aizen.
"Got it." said Gin. It was ten that Aizen walked over to Nightmare and Motaro.
"Gentlemen." He greeted running his hands together. Nightmare and Motaro looked at him with a look of disappointment; they didn't expect he'd know where the Warhammer was. But they were willing to hear him out just in case he knew something. "I do believe that I've heard of this item you're looking." Motaro and Nightmare now became excited and looked in with interest."I heard of it in a place called the soul society, and I'd be more than willing to help you get it."
"What's the catch?" asked Nightmare.
"If I help you get the item, you have to help me destroy the soul society." told Aizen. Nightmare and Motaro looked to each other. With no better options and the only lead they could agree this partnership was the right thing to do. Nightmare turned back to Aizen and nodded his head.
"Deal?" asked Aizen as he extended his hand.
"Deal." replied Nightmare as he took Aizen's hand and shook it.
Meanwhile in the woods surrounding the soul society. Moloch was still on the move. He had mindlessly been roaming around on his own separate venture. But a squad of high level Soul Reapers were on his tracks.
And that was chapter four. The character of Tousen is based off of a character from the Boondocks. I mean no offense by anything it is for comedic purposes only. So please leave reviews of what you thought.
