Chapter 12: Finale Act III

I was back somehow in Hueco Mundo, back in Szayel's lab. What happened to my duel? I finally after all that waiting I finally got my turn and it gets interrupted. As my sight returned, from having been blinded, I see that Szayel is above me. He stared down at me as I lay on the floor. I got to my feet. I saw Tousen intact and alive. There was that Star Gate, er, S-Grande 1.

"Ah it's a cross dressing butterfly donkey witch!"

Szayel gave a deep sigh at this one. I was tempted to call him princess oil rig but that sounded funnier. I then had to give my attention to non exploded Tousen.

"Tousen ya alive! I thought ya blew up on the blimp back there."

"That was Szayel's way of returning us back here."

"So um wait, then what about them god cards? Did I just do all that dueling for nothing. "

"We never needed the god cards. Nothing one does in passion is ever in vain."

"That's what she said."

Szayel interrupted my conversation with Tousen by poking me in the shoulder with a needle. The pain, oh the pain, ever get your hair stuck in something and the only way you could get out is if you cut your hair but you don't have anything to do that with so you end up pulling yourself free strand by strand? Yeh sucks doesn't it? It's that pain without love, the pain that doesn't seem to get enough. For all of you who know what song I'm singing congratulations.

As Szayel removed the needle I felt myself calming down. Did Szayel just inject me with a tranquilizer? I felt my body weaken, I collapsed.

"I'm Ichimaru the rock and roll shinigami and I do c-c-c-cocaine!"

Szayel and Tousen stared at me while I laid on the ground shivering and sweating.

"What's going on with Gin?"

"Bad reaction I suppose. Nothing to be worried about he should be fine momentarily."

As my strength returned I managed to get to my feet. I felt sweat beads starting to form on my skin but I felt cold. Was I hot or cold? Icy or hot? Icy-hot patch? I did feel calmer and that strange feeling I've be having has left me but.

"Gin-dono are you ok?" asked Szayel

"Ya" I replied wiping the sweat from my forehead.

As I looked around to make sure nothing was to surprise me I spotted something strange. It was like a human sculpture that had been wrapped in cloth. From the spiritual pressure it was emitting it had to be a hollow of some sort.

"Um Szayel-san what's that?" I pointed at the strange hollow-ish thing.

"Oh my latest experiment. I've been working long and hard on it. I needed you out of my lab for a few days to work on that. Aizen-sama needed me to make that especially for him."

"Ah I see, but how ya get me back here? And doncha need some info on that extra world?" for the record I really wanted to say aha you said long and hard.

"Oh that extra world? About that-"

Szayel then started telling me that he had orders from the captain to make a special hollow for him, and then started telling me that he couldn't make any progress because I keep on stealing his stuff. Then started saying he had made a dimension where everyone's big concern is card games and it was created for the sole purpose of keeping me away while he worked. Then that Tousen and captain worked together with Szayel to keep me preoccupied. While this was all going on some gas made by Szayel had leaked out and started changing the attitudes and actions of everyone who came near his palace. Finally after Szayel had finished his work he learned of the leak and had to fix it, cure everyone, and bring us back to cure us since we were exposed to it prior to our departure. This does explain some of the strange coincidences. Szayel's work isn't as perfect as he things.

It kinda hurt to know that Szayel didn't like my company but that gas had no effect on me, well none I could detect anyways. I wonder how it affected everyone else. Well no use wondering on this matter. I looked at my zanpaktou which was now back to its sword form.

"Gin, I've got a question where's my zanpaktou?"

"Um Tousen, it's a right there." I replied pointing at Suzumushi.

"Gin this is the zanpaktou of my fallen friend, like her justice Suzumushi lives on within me. I possess my own zanpaktou forged by my own soul. It was Slifer the Sky Dragon remember?"

"Oh, well Szayel pulled me out of there before I could win so it probably counted my forced withdrawal as me forfeiting. Yeh, Yugi has it now."

"You lost my zanpaktou!?" Tousen took a long pause at this. I could tell he didn't know what to say. "One's moral justice cannot be measured by the number of weapons one wields to defend it. The heart of justice lies in those who wish to preserve peace." I stand corrected.

I really wanted to say is that something she said. Knowing Tousen he'd say yes just so I could say in context that's what she said. But this was no longer the Tousen I could have fun with. He was back to his old self. I liked duelist Tousen better. But seeing how he seemed more concerned about Suzumushi than his own zanpaktou I could only say he must really have loved that friend of his. Then the singing broke out in my head again: And I-EI-I will always love You!!! Ok Tousen is official banned from my thoughts.

Well you win some and you lose some. Either way I'm not going to be volunteering for any experiments anytime soon, I tell you what. As I didn't much care to be around these two anymore I left the lab. I can't believe that the Captain would purposely allow me to have been sent away like that. I'm going to get my pay back for that Captain and I hope you enjoy it…

Oh wait I think we left Grimmjow!

A/N: I'm going to do two sequels, one being a one shot and the other maybe 2 chapters 3 a most.

Grimmjow GX and Final Fantasy Revenge (FFR)
