1FYI: some of the character placings from the actual show have been changed, but just for the sake of the story...gomen! Also, if you haven't seen the Hueco Mundo arc, then I suggest you stop reading cause this is going to get confusing...
Chapter Eleven - Death Princess
I will become death,
I will wield my blade with my loved ones in my heart.
I will become life,
And live for the one's who give me hope.
-Dear My Love by Amaya Arashi-
Sai and Kira walked up to the Sekai gate just as her sisters did. Surprisingly, all the Captains were there.
Byakuya, Ukitake, Shunsui, Unohana, Zaraki...all of them.
Joining them were the people who Sai had earlier been informed would be pretending to guard the pillars; Shuuhei Hisagi, Yumichika Aysagawa, Renji Abarai, and the other fake guard stood at her side.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked Kira.
"Positive, Captain." He looked at her with strong eyes and she smiled.
"Good." She nodded.
She walked up to them.
"Renji, I've placed you with Oko." She said. "Yumichika, you'll be with Mikoi. Hisagi, you'll be with Shitteiru, and Kira will be with Tai. I will be with the other Captain's that aren't going to Heuco Mundo."
They all nodded as the Sekai gate opened.
"Good luck everybody." She told them.
And they walked through.
(T.T) -Ulqiorra eyes...lol.
Sai was in the back of the gathered Captains as Aizen walked through the gate. They were all in the new, Fake Karakura town, that was supposed to be an attempt to fool Aizen into taking it instead. Of course, it hadn't worked and Aizen had told them that he knew immediantly, but it was worth a try. And he'd have to get past them if he was going to get to the real one, and that wasn't very likely.
She studied Aizen from her spot, seeing how he was incredibly intelligent, and feeling his out-of-this-world spiritual pressure. He seemed like he analyzed every move of every person secretly, as if preparing for some tactical battle.
He was good...but so was she.
She noticed when four Garganta opened up at the pillars and had to restrain herself from laughing at the maiger little Gillian's that came out of them. She was quite amused when Renji, Kira, Hisagi and Yumichika sliced them up pretty easily.
Such an amateur. She thought.
And then, a few of what she had heard was called a Fraccion, went after them. They were the subordinates of a rather old looking man in a bone-made throne. He looked powerful, but disappointing.
She watched as the Arrancar approached the fake-guardians, engaging in battle with them before she returned her attention to where Yamamoto was speaking with Aizen.
"I'm interested..." Aizen said. "In the strange spiritual pressure I feel. It's faint..."
Yamamoto chuckled. "You wish to know?"
Aizen narrowed his eyes at Yamamoto.
Then Sai disappeared. She flash stepped to the side, disappearing, just as planned.
She giggled as there was a loud boom and she knew her sisters had won their battle. They would soon leave the rest to Renji, Yumichika, Hisagi and Kira, like originally planned.
She, on the other hand, had to wait. Because she had to get to Hueco Mundo and get the rest of those oafs back.
And it sucked, because she wanted to fight.
(T.T)
Oko watched as Renji easily offed the Gillian class Hollow, sitting patiently. She waited for when she was needed, tracing circles in the ground. That was when she sensed the strong spiritual pressure coming towards them. She could've laughed at it, it seemed so weird. She was going to like these Arrancars, no doubt.
Renji scratched the back of his head as the huge Arrancar landed on the top of the pillar. He looked like a giant, and somewhere he had heard that the more powerful they were, the more they looked like normal humans. Maybe this would be easier than he thought.
He already had Zabimaru drawn at his side, and he was itching to look back towards where Oko sat on the ground, but didn't dare. He knew she would rip his hair out if he did.
"I am Poww." The Arrancar said.
"Nice to meet ya." Renji smirked. "Renji Abarai, Lieutenant of the 6th Division."
"Lieutenant?" Poww questioned.
Oko watch from the ground, tapping her chin with her finger. She waited...
Man, he needs to go on a diet... She thought. He looks like a freakin' whale.
She watched when he threw a punch, bare-handed at Renji. Renji blocked it with Zabimaru, but he looked strained. She stood and wiped off her hakama before jumping up.
(*.*)
Mikoi leaned against the tree, incognito. She blended well with the background, her hair matching the orange flowers that surrounded her. She looked up at where Yumichika waited for the approaching Arrancar.
When he...or...rather, it, landed in front of him, she saw him gag in horror.
She couldn't blame him, because this...it...was the most repulsive looking thing she had ever seen in her entire life. She laid her head against the tree with a sigh.
Pretty soon he'd come running to her telling her that he couldn't fight It because It was too disgusting. And she would fully understand, and agree.
Besides. She could take care of It without touching It.
She saw as this It and Yumichika fought because It had said he was ugly after Yumichika had called It ugly.
When It flipped in the air and did some move, she got worried for a second when Yumichika was sent flying down to the ground. She sighed, knowing it was her turn to play with the Arrancar.
(*^*)
Shitteiru didn't waste any time. The Arrancar's name was Findor Carias. This was the information that she had gathered so far. He was part of the second Espada's Fraccion, of which she hadn't figured out his name yet.
The Arrancar looked arrogant, and he had long blond hair that he was partially proud of. He seemed weak as well. No doubt he only fought at the level of a 5th seat for a while. And then Hisagi seemed to noticed and Findor raised his level of attack and defense to Lieutenant level.
Shitteiru studied this. So, if he breaks his mask, then he gets more powerful. She didn't get it in the least. If the Arrancars can break their masks and become more powerful, then why wouldn't they just do that in the first place? If Aizen was truly seeking the power of the Royal Key, then wouldn't he make his army as powerful as possible?
Or maybe he's just playing with them...Maybe this whole thing is just one big game to him. The bastard. The people he kills and uses are only chess pieces. What kind of leader is that?
She looked up and saw Hisagi crash down to the streets below.
Showtime.
(~.~)
Tai yawned.
This is boring. She thought.
This big, bad Arrancar guy was totally an idiot. So far, she had gathered that his name was Avirama Redder, not to mention that he had red tattoo looking things on him, which made her wonder if that was why his last name was redder.
It was weird.
She sighed as she looked up and saw Kira's totally pissed off face above her. She tilted her head and watched his lips move.
"Don't ever say that name in front of me." He had said.
What name? Tai wondered.
She shrugged.
She waited there until Redder released his Zanpaktou or Resurreccion or whatever he called it. He had pretty wings, she'd give him that, but Kira had the disadvantage here. It appeared Redder could attack at a distance while Wabisuke was only useful in close combat.
She sighed. Time to go to work.
(-_-)
Oko jumped in front of Poww, grinning broadly as she blocked his next attack before he could hit Renji again.
"Hi, there." She smiled. "I'm Oko. Nice to meet 'cha."
"I am Poww." He said.
"Hmm, listen here, Poww." She sighed. "I'm not one of those nice people who's going to allow you the chance to escape, so don't get your hopes up. But, you see, I have orders to protect this pillar at all costs, and it seems you might be a threat to it. So I'm going to quit talking and kill you. Okay?"
Poww scoffed. "You seem to be a rather arrogant Shinigami."
"Far more arrogant than any other you'll ever meet." She smirked.
Poww didn't get the chance to move as she charged forward, bringing her blade down on his left arm, severing it completely. She kicked at his side, surprising causing the huge Arrancar to fall over the edge of the pillar and down to the ground.
She turned back to Renji and kissed his cheek before jumping after him.
"Damn." Renji touched his cheek.
"Sora moeru no chisei, Kajiame!" She cried as she fell.
Once again, her skin turned to flame and she landed gracefully in front of the Arrancar that was just gaining his feet.
"Come on, Resurreccion time!" She taunted as she brought her sword around her.
Poww glared at her. "It seems I have no choice."
He brought out a tiny Zanpaktou compared to his size and Oko giggled.
"Breathe, Calderon." He said.
Oko sat back and watched as he turned into a huge, oversized whale. She couldn't help cracking up. Soon, she was rolling on the ground and catching the grass on fire.
She was so busy laughing, she barely noticed the continuous punches Poww brought down on her inflamed body. When she opened her eyes, she saw and laughed even more.
"You silly Arrancar!" She stood as he continued to try and hit her. "I'm flame! You can't hurt me! Okay, okay. Breathe Oko..."
She tried to calm herself before standing up.
"Okay, okay." She sighed. "I'm just gonna cut straight to the chase. Bankai. Moe Te Iru Tengoku Kajiame."
The sky again churned with the red flame as she felt her power pulsing through her veins. She almost lost control of her reiatsu, forcing him to his knees.
"I'll just skip to killing you." She said coldly as she brought Kajiame forward. "Stage Two. Burn."
The air around Poww turned to pure flame before swirling around him, catching a few key pieces of his clothing on fire. It swirled around him, choking him and stealing away his oxygen. He was laying shriveled on the ground before Oko went in for the kill.
"Gomen nasai...Poww-san." She whispered before setting the blade she held in her hand to fire and thrusting it inside him.
His innards began to feel warm, and then he was writhing in pain as every single part of his insides turned to fire. Oko turned away, unable to look at him as even his skin turned to flame.
She concealed her Zanapaktou and jumping to the top of the pillar.
She walked up to Renji and smacked him on the back of the head.
"What the hell?" She demanded. "Now, get lost, I have to release my reiatsu."
He sighed before grabbing her waist and pulling her forward. She giggled when he took her lips. She held onto his neck and deepened the kiss, taking in his sweet taste.
When they broke apart, he leaned his forehead on hers.
"You finally figured it out, huh?" She asked.
"I never figured anything out." He told her. "I was just tired of waiting."
"Men." She sighed as she pushed at his chest. "Now, unless you wanna become a pancake, get lost."
"Right." He stepped back. "Hey, Oko, you better come back to me."
"Always." She smiled at him before he jumped off the pillar.
Yes, she'd defiantly come back to him.
(*-*)
"Hello." Mikoi sighed as she appeared out of nowhere in front of Charlotte Cuuhlhourn. "I'm Mikoi Shinihime. You're about to die."
"Huh?" Charlotte asked.
Mikoi wasted no time before attacking It, cutting through the defense slightly and cutting It's face.
She stands to the side, with her still-concealed Zanpaktou and sighed.
"Seichou suru..." She whispered. "Kowashite Jishin."
Her Zanpaktou glowed orange before the ribbon extended and encircled her. The blade held the orange tint in it's released state, as the hilt was black.
Yumichika watched in awe, unable to move. She was just too amazing...
"You really are ugly." Mikoi said flatly. "I have a new name for you, Charlotte-san. It."
She brought her Zanpaktou up and vibrating walls of earth shot up before Mikoi gathered the earth around her. She cut her hand and sent her own blood flying over the dirt. Suddenly, all of them turned to orange blades. She sent them forward and they all penetrated It with ease.
The Arrancar cried out before Mikoi turned her back on it and walked towards Yumichika. She felt It's reiatsu completely disappear.
She sheathed her concealed Zanpaktou before she ran to Yumichika and hugged him tightly. She leaned back and smudged a little dirt off his face.
"Are you okay?" She asked him.
She felt weird asking it, because she really hadn't ever asked that question before.
"Yes." He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers. "Thanks to you."
She smiled at him and ran her hand through his hair.
"Sweetie, you need a brush." She sighed.
"Don't remind me." He frowned. "I probably look just as repulsive at It right now."
"There is no way you could ever look that bad." Mikoi informed him. "And you still look beautiful."
She stepped back. "Wait here."
And she jumped to the top of the pillar.
(*-*)
Shitteiru chose to approach the Arrancar slowly as it brought out it's Resurreccion. She felt the trickle of an increased spiritual pressure before she smiled to herself.
Easy.
She leaped forward in front of the Arrancar before it could attack Hisagi. She blocked it's blow, not giving it any time to recuperate before slicing off it's right arm. She then kicked it in the face and sent it flying back into a nearby building.
She turned to Hisagi quickly. "Go."
He obeyed, running towards the Arrancar.
He was just standing as she jumped, kicking him back down into the dirt.
"Utaimasu, Ginbara." She whispered.
Vines whipped out of her Zanpaktou and gathered the Arrancar in them. She squeezed them, not holding them back before the Arrancar's body was completely paralyzed.
"I'm Shitteiru Shinihime." She told him. "I already know you're name, so don't bother. You're a threat to the pillar I have orders to protect. I'm sorry, but you have to die."
She didn't give him anytime to speak before slicing his head off.
It rolled on the ground before his body disintegrated inside the vines.
She then got to the top of the pillar in one jumped and released her reiatsu.
(-_-)
Tai slowly danced into view on the top of the pillar.
"Hi!" She waved to Arrancar that hovered in the air. "I'm Tai. It's funny, cause my name rhymes with die, and that's what you're gonna do!"
The Arrancar looked at her weird as Kira stuck to the plan and jumped off the pillar.
Tai whirled around as she unsheathed her Zanpaktou.
"Ataemasu koi, Kurai Hikari!" She cried.
The blinding light erupted and she again took the chance to get behind the Arrancar, when the light went away, she giggled.
"Gotcha." She whispered.
He gasped as she sliced the blade across his neck before recoiling and running him through. She bit her lip, feeling a little guilty for being so arrogant with him as he bled out on the ground. She sighed before pushing what remained of his body over the pillar as it disintegrated before it hit the ground.
She turned back, releasing her reiatsu.
