'Thinking'
The little hollow did not like his odds. 5 bigger, more experienced hollows surrounded the hollow. The little hollow had one good thing on his side, power. The little hollow had more power than all five of the other hollows put together. The first hollow looked like a large centipede with a large crown shaped crest and a jack o' lantern like mask. One of the other hollows looked like a large bear with long-clawed paws and a weird looking tribal mask. The 3rd hollow had a dog-like form with a brown color that made it hard t see in the dank, misty forest. The second to last hollow was a special case. It was about 10 meters tall and had, what looked like, black robes on with a large white mask that was taller than the newborn. The last hollow was slightly taller than the first 3. He had large spike coming out of his shoulders and knees and was covered in what looked like black armor.
The newborn hollow was surrounded but wasn't scared. It felt like these hollows before it were actually weaker than it. Once the hollows decided not to waste anymore time they lunged in unison. The newborn dodged the first threes strikes blocked the fourth and got clipped by the last causing a scratch to form, that healed only seconds later. The newborn flashed to the side of the dog shaped hollow and stabbed it causing massive damage. The bear shaped hollow was charging and the push ripped the newborn out of the dog hollow and black blood sprayed everywhere. The centipede hollow started to then feast on the screaming dog hollow with no sympathy. As this was happening the large hollow decided that it wanted to join the bear and attacked the newborn with poor results. The newborn turned and grabbed both hollows hands and broke them. The newborn then flipped them both onto their backs, jumped on them and broke both their legs. The newborn then went for the last on that was just watching the carnage. The newborn tried to strike at it but the other hollow just blocked.
"Who do you think you are to attack the mighty Thanatos God of the menos forest?" The newborn just stared at the hollow and tried to attack it again but this time instead of block the other hollow grabbed the newborns arm and bit into it. After a few minutes the newborn was fully consumed as well as the others in the area. Thanatos felt extreme power flowing through him. He grinned then frowned when he heard a voice in his head.
"You need to rest." Apparently the newborn gained the ability to speak when it was consumed. Over time the voice became stronger and more persistent. After 6 days of no rest Thanatos was getting weaker and more tired. The voices became more and more appealing to give into. On the 7th day Thanatos gave up and collapsed onto the ground. He closed his eyes for the last time.
"Not a god anymore are you? That was way too easy. Well now I have to find more food befor…" The newborn got the worst headache one could imagine and doubled over in pain. It felt like his head could burst at any moment. It was similar to a sledgehammer slamming into his head. He fell to the ground as a bright light surrounded him blinding anyone that came too close. When the light went away and the hollow got up he looked at his new form. It seemed like the body he was in transformed itself to suite him and his needs, which were different than the others. The newborn looked similar to its original form with some minor differences. First it now had a more human sized form and the tribal marks multiplied. The newborn then went in search of others like itself.
A brown haired man was walking across the barren desert but stopped suddenly. He looked around and saw lots of black blood everywhere. He then turned around and saw a bright pillar of light shooting into the air.
"Interesting." As he said this he pushed up his glasses then flashed away.
The newborn was following a powerful reiatsu. He also felt a being chasing him at the ends of his restrained senses. He stopped and waited as he simulated himself leaving by slowly lowering his reiatsu to nothing. Soon the reiatsu following him got too close. The small hollow flashed as close as possible before being detected. The hollow following him tried to lower its reiatsu but just couldn't quite get it under control.
"I know you're out there so why don't you come out here." After this the hollow tried to suppress its power further getting no better results. Tired of playing games the newborn flashed in front of the other. The other hollow looked like a dragonfly type thing with pink hair and amber eyes.
"Who are you?" Asked the newborn.
"My name is Szayel Aporro Granz. And you are." Szayel asked.
"I have no name so you can call me whatever you want." Said the hollow.
"What about Shiro Akuma." The hollow thought on it.
"White Demon. That sounds good." The now dubbed Shiro said. So they slowly became friends. Once Shiro made friends with Szayel he forgot the large reiatsu that he was following earlier. Together they went through the phases from hollow to Gillian to Adjuchas and, for Shiro at least, Vasto Lorde. Shiro now looked like the inverse of what he was as a normal hollow. Szayel looked about the same as he was before but more compact. This process took about 6 years.
A brown haired man was with his comrades as they watched Shiro and Szayel spar in the desert of Hueco Mundo.
"Should we recruit or kill them my lord?" Asked a dark skinned man with a visor. A man with brown slicked back hair looked at the blind man then disappeared.
Once the spar ended the critique began.
"So Szayel you need to get more physically strong. You can't always rely on your tricks and brains. You need to be versatile. After all is said and done you just need to practice some more and you may be able to best any high tier Adjuchas." Complimented Shiro. There was clapping in the back ground and both the hollows spun around. When they did they both saw a man with slicked back brown hair and an air of power around him.
"Who are you?" Asked Shiro.
"My name is Aizen Sosuke. And you are?" He asked in return.
"My name is Shiro Akuma and my friend here is Szayel Aporro Granz. What do you want."
Willing to play this game of Quid Pro Quo. "I am amassing an army of Arrancar. I was going to inquire if you would like to join." Aizen emphasized his point with raising his reiatsu. Szayel fell to his knees but Shiro stood up strong and releasing his reiatsu to counter Aizen's. That was until Aizen raised his reiatsu up to the strength of a Captain. With what looked like a strained face Shiro submitted.
"You are weak for a Vasto Lorde but you will do fine. Aizen then pulled out a small purple orb from his pocket. He held it in front of the two hollows. A bright purple light surrounded Shiro and Szayel. When the light faded away there kneeling in the sand were two naked men.
"Now you will follow me or die. It is your choice." Said Aizen.
"We will follow you Aizen-sama." Said Shiro, Speaking for both of them.
"Tousan please take these two back to Las Noches and give them a change of clothes. After they left Aizen looked at Gin.
"I will need you to keep an eye on Shiro."
"Of course I will watch Whity~." Gin said with that ever-present smile and a chipper tone
Once Shiro, Szayel and Tousan got to Las Noches Tousan led them to the main fitting room.
"Just choose whatever meets your fancy." With that he left.
"So what do you think of this new Arrancar thing Shiro?" Asked Szayel.
"I don't know just yet but with your brain you will most likely not be expendable. You might even get a higher rank than me."
"Why do you figure that we will have ranks?"
"Well this is a military organization so there must be so kind of chain of command. Generals or leaders of some sort." Answered Shiro.
Once they got dressed (Szayel looked like normal.) Ichigo wore a version of what Aizen was wearing.
"All Arrancar are to meet in the throne room in approximately 2 hours." An announcement stated.
"Well let's go check out who else is here." Said Shiro.
Later when Shiro and Szayel got to the throne room. Shiro knocked on the door only to hear Aizen bid them come in. Shiro opened the door and saw about ten other Arrancar in the room along with Aizen sitting on the stone throne. Tousan on his right and Gin standing to Aizen's left. The Arrancar were sitting at a table in the middle of the room with tea set out. It looked like the table was supposed to have fewer chairs and was a little cramped. Shiro and Szayel sat next to each other. On Shiro's left was a tall man with long black hair and an eye patch. He was holing an overly large double crescent scythe. On Szayel's right was a woman with short green hair and a green sword at her side.
"Welcome to this first meeting of the Espada." Said Aizen raising his hands into the air for emphasis.
"What are you talking about Espada? What are those?" Asked Szayel with a glint in his eyes with the promise of more knowledge. Some of the others at the table rolled their eyes at Szayel, as if he asked a stupid question. He thought of all the experiments he could do with such powerful test subjects. Shiro kept Szayel calm throughout their time in the great desert, but now he had more freedom with the fact that he didn't have to worry about his life.
"I must have gotten ahead of myself and forgotten to explain the Espada to the two newest members of my army. The Espada are the top ten Arrancar of my army. They will lead the charge against the Seireitei. Now this meeting is to decide who the new Espada are going to be." Aizen reached into his cloak and brought out the same small purple orb that turned them all into Arrancar in the first place.
"This is what is called the Hogyoku. It has the ability to turn you all into Arrancar and because of this it can tell who is the strongest from 0 to 9. Those will get a number where you focus. Now close your eyes and the process will begin." As the Arrancar closed their eyes and the room was aglow with purple light. When the process ended everyone was told to open his or her eyes and search for a mark.
"Now state your name and number starting from number 0. If you don't have a number just wait until the end, then share you name with everyone for pleasantries sake." Everyone nodded.
"Cero Espada Coyote Starrk." The Arrancar in front to the left of Aizen stated.
"Prima Espada Baraggan Louisenbairn." Said the Arrancar across from Shiro stated with slight disgust.
"Segunda Espada Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck." Said the Arrancar to the right of Szayel.
"Tres Espada Tier Harribel." Said the Arrancar across from Shiro.
"Cuatro Espada Ulqiorra Cifer." Said the Arrancar at the far end of the table.
"Quinto Espada Shiro Akuma." Said Shiro.
"Sexta Espada Nnoitra Gilga." Said the Arrancar to the left of Shiro as he glared at Nelliel.
"Septima Espada Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez." Said the Arrancar at the far side of the other side of the table.
"Octava Espada Luppi Antenor." Said the Arrancar across from Szayel.
"Novena Espada Szayel Aporro Granz."
"Now for the honorable mentions." Said Aizen with a smile.
"Zommari Rureaux"
"Aaroniero Arruruerie"
"Now that you all have your numbers the Arrancar that don't have numbers have to leave or die." Aizen said all the while raising his reiatsu. After they left the true meeting of the Espada started.
"Let's get down to business. You will each have a palace of your own and you may have fraccion. Fraccion are Arrancar under your command. Now go explore you new palaces." Aizen then shooed them away.
Just to clarify Szayel looks like he does in the manga and Shiro has a single horn sticking out of his head, shoulder length white hair, black and red tribal marks across his body. Shiro's number is on his upper left bicep. Thank you all for reading. Please review. Tell me what you think and what I might need to fix. All of you have a marry Christmas or whatever you celebrate.
