Chapter 10 : Xcution! Approach!
There, everything around there was just plain white sand with night sky and a crescent moon on it.
"Hueco Mundo, such a pleasant place to become our base", Aizen said as he looked at the little hollow beside him.
"Thank you for the help, Wonderweiss", Aizen said as he pats the hollow head.
"Now, shall we go my comrade?", Aizen said again now to his two allies as he began to walk through the deserted world of hollows.
Few hours passed and sure, some of hollows that have spotted the four came straight to attack, but Tōsen cut all of them down easily.
Then finally, the four had just arrived at their destination, it was the Hollow King himself.
"So, it was you filthy shinigami that has slay down half of my army, eh?", a hollow with a golden crown above his skull face and holding a ridiculously giant pure black axe looked at the three shinigami plus one hollow he had never seen before. Yeah, the hollow has a face, a real lively face, like human does.
"Baraggan Louisenbairn or King of Hueco Mundo if you prefer, am I right?", Aizen said half mockingly which made the current King of Hueco Mundo angry.
"What do you want whelp? Don't you think you could ran away from this after you just cut down half of my armies!", the King of Hueco Mundo said pointing his axe at Aizen, this made Tōsen and Gin on alert which had their hand on their own respective sword already, but Aizen give a sign to his two comrade to lower down their sword.
"Now, now, I'm just come here to talk. You don't want to get this out of hand don't you, Baraggan?", Aizen said with a smirk plastered on his face.
"What do you want whelp?", the King asked, still angry at Aizen for calling by his own name.
"I want to form an ally with you", Aizen said, simple yet full on one.
Meanwhile at Karakura Town
It's already 4 PM around Karakura town, Ichigo and Nel had managed to just sitting on the park bench at the town, enjoying each other company. Until suddenly, a man with ridiculously white skin approach the two.
The man was slender, yet fairly muscular, he has green eyes and he has teal lines that descend from the lower part of his eyes. His face does not show any emotion, they were passive.
"Ichigo Kurosaki and Neliel Tu Odelschwanck, am I correct?", the man asked to the two.
"Who are you and what do you want?", Ichigo asked back, Nel just remained silent.
"I am Ulquiorra Schiffer and you're ordered to come with me to our hideout", the man said.
This time, Ichigo began to feel uneasy on this man.
"What do you mean ordered? What if I refused to go with you? Are you gonna do the hard way?", Ichigo asked straightly to the man face, his fists were ready.
"You could assume it like that", Ulquiorra replied, remained impassive.
'Damn, weird people just keep showing up around me nowadays. I can't let Nel get involved with this', Ichigo thought bitterly as sweat began to form.
"RUN NEL! I'LL HOLD HIM OFF FOR WHILE IN HERE, NOW RUN!", Ichigo shout as he punched the man on the stomach while Nel run away.
As a result, it does not work at all. Ulquiorra still remained in his place impassive, by this time, Ichigo felt fear now, but he did not give up as he does a roundhouse kick to the man ribs. Again, it does not work at all. Now, Ichigo was in complete fear.
'Run now, run… I said run…! Run now…, RUN!', Ichigo shouted in his mind while his instinct began to take over his mind which tells him to run away as fast as possible.
Ulquiorra remained there as he closed his eyes and said,"I guess this boy doesn't understand the situation he were in now", and with that, he vanished between flickering green light around his feet.
'This is bad, this is bad', Ichigo thought as he panting heavily, he had just managed to catch up with Nel recently.
Cttrtzr!
Ulquiorra suddenly appeared in front of Nel and Ichigo who had shocked look on their faces.
"Luz de la Luna (Light of the Moon)", Ulquiorra said as green energies flowed out from his left chest to his hand, forming a green javelin. Ichigo and Nel had their eyes widening, they were paralyzed by the sight if front of them as they thought simultaneously,'Is this the end of my life?'.
Swussh!
The javelin was launched.
'Am I already dead?', Ichigo and Nel thought as they felt both of their hands got pulled by someone and with that, their eyes snapped open.
"Y- you!", Ichigo said.
"Don't look back and keep running", Ulquiorra said, still with his impassive face as he dragged both Ichigo and Nel.
Ichigo being the one whose curious look back while he is running, I mean being pulled by Ulquiorra.
'Is that a hollow?', he thought at the sight which was a hollow that had a green light javelin struck on its face. Suddenly the three of them vanished, a trail of flickering green light were there on the floor.
Ctrrtcz!
"WHUAOAH! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?", Ichigo shouted at the man who dragged him and Nel as three of them appeared on somewhere nowhere around the secluded part of the town. Nel being Nel, still had a shocked expression on her face.
"That was called as Bringer Light (Full Manifestation Light), it was a high speed movement technique that we Fullbringer (Full Manifestation Artist) uses", Ulquiorra stated calmly as if it was no deal wiht him.
"B- bringer what?", Ichigo asked for not hearing it clearly.
"Bringer Light",Ulquiorra said again, still wore the same expression on his face.
"U- Ulquiorra right?", Ichigo asked as Ulquiorra only nodded as response.
"Now, let's head back to the hideout", Ulquiorra said to the two as they vanished again by the technique none other than the Bringer Light itself.
Soul Society
05.00 PM, Head-Captain Office Room
There on the floor, sister-in-law of Byakuya Kuchiki, the Sixth Division Captain and at once as the Head of the Kuchiki Clan bow down to the great Head-Captain of Soul Society, prepare to give her report.
"State the situation on Human World, Rukia Kuchiki", the old man said while he rubbing on his long beard.
"There has abnormalities around the town, a Gillian, an Adjudcha and Vastro Lorde class hollow appeared in the middle of the town gradually by each class at night, the same time when Soul Society attacked", at this Rukia paused for a while for the Head-Captain to gather his thoughts.
'It was kind of normal to have Gillian class roaming around the town, but an Adjudcha and Vastro Lorde class too? It might be normal for someone like her level to beat a Gillian class hollow, but how about the Adjudcha and Vastro Lorde? At some point maybe the hollow retreat back, the mind of a Vastro Lorde couldn't be ticked easily. But then again, if she couldn't beat them down why would the hollow flee?', the Head-Captain thought disbelievingly, and then he asked for the confirmation.
"Rukia Kuchiki, do you have dealt with both of the hollows or are they retreat?".
"Yes, but I only dealt with the Gillian and Adjudcha, when I had purified the Gillian, the Adjudcha suddenly appeared and attacked me, I fight back but I lost. However, then suddenly two humans with some sort of strange powers appeared too and dealt with the Adjudcha when the Adjudcha itself were about to devour a human. After that-", when she's about to continue the Head-Captain cut off.
"How comes a human were involved with you? Is it the human could see you?", the Head-Captain asked.
"Yes, this human could see me, but this human seems unique and appeared to be very interesting", Rukia answered.
"Before we search deeper about this human you meet, how about you explain the other two humans power that had defeated the Adjudcha?", the Head-Captain asked again.
With that, she explained everything, how a pair of small knives becomes a pair of Wolverine-like blade and a black clock necklace become a long huge crescent scythe. Of course, not forgotten about Ichigo having some sort of hollow reiatsu inside his body and the form of hollow Ichigo that took down the Vastro Lorde with ease. Lastly, it was about the most unusual things that the Adjudcha and the Vastro Lorde did not even talk a thing.
After Rukia were out from the office, the Head-Captain was deep in thought.
'It might be a wise decision to summon Isshin Shiba once again. But how Kaien-fukutaichō and his sister would take this information'.
Somewhere in the Shiba's Residence
"Hnn nnn…, HACHOOO! Huh? I think someone talking about me", a man with purple hair and face almost the same like Ichigo said.
"Tch, it must be just your imagination", a girl beside the man spat to the grassy ground.
"Shiba-taichō is alive, shall I tell Kaien and the others? It might hurt them deeply, but they deserved the information. But…, hmmm, ARRGH! Better just wait for Head-Captain to take the response", a white haired prodigy who was the 10th Division's Captain said to himself as a drunken big busty woman with long orange hair came to his office.
"Taichō… why you're putting this lot of work on me…? You makes me don't having a free time… nnhnn taichō…", the woman said while she's walking drunkenly as her head landed on the white haired Captain desk.
"URUSE! (Shut up)".
Back at the Shiba's Residence
"Hnn nnn…, HACHOOO! Huh? I think someone talking about me again", a man with purple hair and face almost the same like Ichigo said, again…
"Damn, I've said it that it must be just your imagination", a girl beside the man spat to the grassy ground, her face looking pissed, seems she was in bad mood.
"Hmm, probably you're right, again…", he replied as a man came running behind to approach them.
"SISTERRR…! BROTHERRR…!", the man said while running to the two with happy crying face without reason.
BUGHH!
"URUSE! (Shut up) GANJU!", a kick connected to the man face, but somehow her fist connected to the man beside her too.
'Ughh, a bright day with crazy bitch sister and a crybaby maniac brother', with that, the man pretending being unconscious to take some nap.
Unoccupied Apartment
05.30 PM, Room 604
"Hey bossy, ya sure leavin' the job on that gloomy kid? Ye' can count on me nuh", Grimmjow said to the man with the black jacket who appeared to be the leader of an unknown group in the room.
"I'm pretty sure he could take care of it, anyway I need him to see more of the outside world", the man replied only to have Grimmjow grunt in response.
"But still, why it do take him this long…, tch", Nnoitra who sat on the stool bar said while he drink another mug of beer.
"My, my, such an impatient one eh, Nnoitra-kun", the man with white formal shirt who stood beside the leader said playfully to Nnoitra.
"Hey guys, do you feel that?", Grimmjow asked to the other member of the group.
"Feel what, kitty-katty?", a red haired girl said while she played with her dreamy white house box.
"YOU WANNA GO AT IT, HOT-HEAD?", Grimmjow had his head against the red haired girl.
"BRING IT ON, KITTY-SHIT!", the red haired girl said as both her and Grimmjow fight in battle of dominance in… forehead.
"They never change…", a dark skinned girl who sit on the sofa said while she looked at the entrance door.
"Yeah, you right and now, it's about time for you to show up Ulquiorra", the leader said as a sparkle of flickering green lights appeared on the middle of the room, showing three people, which were Nel and Ichigo being dragged by Ulquiorra.
Sure, that makes every people in the room stared at three of them in comical way.
"Uh, Ulquiorra, do you even have to drag them all the way here?", the leader said to Ulquiorra who remained impassive.
"A hollow attacked and I took them away with Bringer Light", Ulquiorra explained, short, tight and clear.
"Uh, ok, anyway, why you drag this little cutie too?", the leader asked again as information being processed by Grimmjow and Nnoitra.
"NEL TOO?", Grimmjow and Nnoitra said simultaneously while Nnoitra spat out all the beer on Grimmjow face. Unnaturally, Grimmjow does not care about it.
"This girl appeared to be Ichigo Kurosaki's trustworthy comrade", Ulquiorra said again only to have the others muttered 'whatever…'.
"G- Grimmjow? N- Nnoitra…?", Ichigo and Nel stuttered, unable to find words to describe it.
"Okay then, to know that ye' have come now, let's start with the introduction. We are…", Grimmjow said as the others began to answer the same one in their mind.
"Xcution", everyone said in the room said except for the orange boy the teal haired girl that leaved speechless.
Urahara's Shop
7.00 PM, Guest Room
There sat three people on the floor who was Tessai Tsukabishi, Yoruichi Shihōin in her cat form and the shop owner himself, Kisuke Urahara.
"Damn, Kūkkaku is going to kill Isshin if they know about this. Although I preferred to watch Isshin suffering", Yoruichi said as she lick her paws.
"You bet that, but as you see, I predicted that mostly by the time, Isshin is going to be summoned by the Head-Captain himself and according to the situation, I guess Isshin won't agree that easily doesn't it? He cares about his children too much, especially Ichigo", Kisuke Explained earning a nod from Tessai.
"So, do you have a plan about it boss?", Tessai asked.
"Yes I do, we'll make Ichigo a shinigami!", Kisuke exclaimed, earning another nods from Tessai.
"Too simple…", Yoruichi said while she lick her paws again, c'mon she always done it in her cat form right?
"C'mon Yoruichi, I'm sure this plan will work out. As Isshin gone off to Soul Society, who knows that Ichigo could protect them", Kisuke said in comical way only to have big sweat formed on the back of the other two heads.
"Still, too simple… he could at least ask us to take care of his kids anyway", Yoruichi said.
"But still you know Yoruichi, Tessai, our real threat is Aizen right now, he's not someone that to be get underestimated easily. I'm not sure, but still I have a feeling that we might lose to him, even with all the power from Soul Society had itself", Kisuke said as he getting serious by the time.
"Sure, but why even Ichigo too? He's still a kid, he can't be involved in this war! Even if you could convince the boy, how Isshin would take this? Have you ever thinking that way?", Yoruichi said with concerned look, same for Tessai who nodded at the black cat.
"I think I'll do it, this might work out. I'll try to plan something in case Isshin got to know this", Kisuke said with his usual smile, but somehow the other two felt differently toward the owner shop this time.
'Is this the Kisuke I know?', Yoruichi thought concerned as she asked Kisuke again,"Why him Kisuke? What makes you think he could change this war?".
Kisuke the stand up and walked out from the room darkly, but then stopped before heading downstairs he turned to the two with a sincere smile,"I don't know, but somehow there's something inside this kid that makes me want to have a faith in him and after all, he's Isshin son, right?", with that, Kisuke left the two speechless as himself heading downstairs to the secret training ground.
"Is this the boss I knew since 110 years ago?", Tessai asked the black cat.
"You shall bet…", the black cat said as she began to lick her paws again.
Karakura Hospital
08.00 PM, Secret Basement Hall
"Are you done yet, kid?", Ryūken said to his son who's now battered up badly on the floor coughing out blood.
"You're pathetic you know, there's still some more powerful Quincy up there on outside and you as my son still just being a nuisance to this world. Do you think you have grown that strong by all the training you've got from your grandfather? You're just pathetic as he is", Ryūken being a badass on the outside of his self, trying to provoke the mind of the young Quincy that spat out more blood in front of him.
"You may mock me or curse me for being nuisance until you death, Ryūken… but… DON'T YOU DARE MOCK MY GRANDFATHER TOO, HE'S YOUR FATHER AND I WON'T STAND FOR IT!", the young Quincy shouted as the ground beneath him shaking, everything around the basement hall like the pillars, the floor, chairs, and the other around him as well turned into blue particles as it formed a big long bow on the young Quincy hands, the arrow was big as a man itself as it turned bigger and bigger by the time.
"DIEEEE…!", the young Quincy shot and shout with all his might at his father.
"Now we're talking, Heilig Pfeil! (Holy Arrow)", Ryūken said as he quickly formed his own bow with his Quincy-cross and shot it at the young Quincy last attack.
KABOOM!
"I guess I had overdo it", Ryūken said while he looked at the unconscious body in front of him as he thought,'In mean time, you will surpass me, kid. But remember that the path you've chosen won't change until the day has come', and with that, the father carrying his own son on his back and walked towards his room to tend his injuries.
"Father…", the young Quincy muttered.
"You've done a great job today, kid", Ryūken said to his son with a bright smile, and of course the young Quincy didn't know this.
-To be Continued-
Trivia :
1. Xcution finally revealed, but I will say this only ONCE. The Xcution won't be the same as like anime, they didn't have any objections about taking Ichigo's powers, they just there to help him and goes the same way for their plans.
2. You see that Sishigawara who was the right hand of Tsukishima were not here. Yeah , I'm not planning to use the character, so I'll just leave him be.
3. As for why Ryūken acting like all nice to his son when his no one sees (I mean even his son, which might be when he's unconscious or asleep), just think like the relationship of Itachi and Sasuke on Naruto but only the differences that Ryūken acting all bad towards his son from the start.
4. The information about Isshin Shiba being alive and well still held as secret in formation, only the Captains and Rangiku as the Lieutenant that knows this information.
5. A little hint that Aizen already had Tia Hallibel, Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingerbuck on his side and the first one was to be Wonderweiss himself.
