Chapter 14:
Turn of Events
It's not fun being stuck in Las Noches all alone, sensing those fighting, Ressurecting, and dying. I was ordered to guard a large blimp-like hollow called Fura. Sure, it's a great hollow to use as a Bounce House, but when you look at it, it has only one eye, or mouth, large, fat legs and fingers, and has Gillian masks for fingernails. Personally, I prefer Coolhorn's Ressurecion over this. Then again, I don't know which one is uglier; him or Fura. But, you got to give credit to the five Shinigami that infiltrated this place. Then they received help. Ichigo took down Dordonii and Grimmjow, was struck down by Nnoitra, who was damaged by Neliel Tu Oderschvank and finished off by Kenpachi Zaraki. Uryuu took down with help from Pesche Cirucci THUNDERWITCH, who's name in mispronounced in the English Dub, and fought against Szayel Aporro Granz (not Szayelaporro) along with Renji Abarai, Pesche, and Dondochakka, and was taken down by Mayuri and Nemu Kurotsuchi. Chad defeated Mosqueda, and was taken down by Nnoitra, and both him and Mosqueda were healed by Retsu Unohana. Rukia took down Aranierro, nearly sacrificing herself, later controlled by Zommari who was taken down by Byakuya Kuchiki, who both them and Hanataro were healed by Isane Kotetsu. Ichigo, Uryuu, and Orihime are with Ulquiorra, and Ichigo's fighting him. Pesche and Dondochakka are somewhere within Las Noches, and Nel is passed out in the same battlefield that Nnoitra and his Fraccion, Tesla, are still in. Chad and Renji are fighting against Yammy, and Rukia's fighting against Rubadon, or is it Rudabon? The rest of Soul Society are fighting against Aizen, Tosen, Gin, and the top three Espada and their Fraccion. Meanwhile, I'm waiting here with Fura for something to happen.
I'm sick of this war. I want out. Aizen wants me to kill, but it just isn't in my nature. Hmm, let's see, Szayel and Grimmjow are just barely alive. Mosqueda's alive and well. I think Ulquiorra killed Ichigo...DAMN HIM! I'm so scared that I can't even cry though. That's it. I'm done with this crap! I'm going to make my own team! But I need Retsu's help first. Forget Fura, Aizen can keep him. I swear though, if he kills Jushiro or Shunsui, I'll do him in like Grimmjow did Luppi. Wondy See, Wondy Do.
I use Garganta to arrive to the other side of Las Noches to where Retsu and Mosqueda still are. Neither were talking, but I can fix that. Retsu looks over at me, knowing full well that I'm not one to attack out of the blue. She seemed to recognize me.
"Wonderweiss? Is that you? What are you doing here?" she asks.
"Uwwaaaaahhh!!! [I need your help!!!]" I cry out.
"Wait, are you asking for my help?"
"Yes."
"Oh, this just got interesting." Mosqueda says, Sonidoing over.
"I see you're fully recovered." Retsu says.
"Thanks to you. So, Wonderweiss, what do you have on your mind?" Mosqueda asks.
I try to talk to the best of my ability, "...want...to...create...team!"
Mosqueda replies dumbfounded, "Whoa, you're starting to actually talk. And Yammy calls you a rookie."
"What do you want me to do?" Retsu asks.
"Heal...others..." I reply.
"As long as they don't attack. Actually, I have a better idea. Minazuki can't be hurt from the inside, since all it does is heal using its stomach acids." Retsu says, drawing out her Zanpakuto.
The Zanpakuto starts to turn into a green gas cloud. It then transforms into a large Manta Ray-like creature; THIS THING IS HUGE! It could probably fit 12 people on its back.
"Hop on Wonderweiss. I'll direct Minazuki on where you'd like to go." Retsu says.
"O-okay...." I reply, still stunned.
The three of us board Minazuki, and I get to ride shotgun with Retsu. I point towards the crushed red buildings; those are Szayel's lab. Retsu commands Minazuki to fly there, and off we go. Retsu then mentions that I'm thinking about something as well.
"Luppi..." I answer.
"Kid, Luppi's dead. He's never coming back." Mosqueda says.
"I wouldn't be so sure. Is the Hogyoku still around?" Retsu asks.
"...Maybe..." I reply.
"After we gather who you want to heal, take me to where the Hogyoku is. Kisuke Urahara filled me in on a Special Hidden Ability that even Aizen doesn't know about." Retsu explains.
"It-it has more abilities? we Arrancar only know the one main purpose: creating us." Mosqueda argues.
Retsu looks at him with a smile and closed eyes saying, "Would I really lie to one who refuses to fight?"
Suddenly, a rush of fear fills us both. For some reason, Retsu is not one to piss off.
We quickly arrive where Szayel is, on top of one of the many crushed buildings. Minazuki reveals two bird-like feet, and lands, waddling over to Szayel. Mayuri and Nemu were in his little treasure trove. I can't see Szayel being happy with that. Retsu slides off Minazuki, and pulls out the half of Mayuri's Zanpakuto. As she looks him over, he didn't have much life left, but just enough to be healed in time. Minazuki bends down, and gulps up Szayel! WTF?!
"Wha?! Your sword just ate Szayel Aporro Granz!" Mosqueda shouts.
"Relax. Inside Minazuki is her stomach. Her stomach acids are actually very strong healing medicines and oitments. Szayel Aporro Granz will be just fine." Retsu explains.
However, Minazuki's stomach started to growl, and not the hungry-type of growl. Something purple was seeping out of its mouth. That must be the failed attampt at the superhuman drug that Mayuri put in Nemu. Retsu says it is, and that Minazuki will be fine. I'm guessing it has run into stuff like this before. Mayuri should be shot. Retsu jumps onto Minazuki's back, and I point towards the old battlefield that still contains Grimmjow, Nel, and Tesla.
Suddenly, we all feel a rush of Spirit Pressure. It felt like Ichigo's...he's alive?!
"Yikes, who is that?" Mosqueda asks.
"...Ichigo..." Retsu and I mutter.
"Minazuki, we have to hurry!" Retsu commands.
Minazuki retracts its feet, and off we go as fast as possible. The Spirit Pressure betyween Ichigo and Ulquiorra is remarkable! Both are so dense, it's like heading into the depths of the ocean. As minutes pass, we reach the battlefield. Grimmjow is still just barely alive, Tesla's in the same condition, and Nel is out cold. Minazuki lands, and Retsu jumps down, first checking the closest Arrancar, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. He is covered from head to toe in sword-like wounds, the biggest one from Nnoitra's Santa Teresa.
"Ngh...What are you lookin' at, bitch?" Grimmjow manages to say.
"Unless you want to die, I suggest you not call me rude names." Retsu politely demands.
Grimmjow is stricken by fear and nods, submitting to her. He never even submitted to Aizen like that; oh if I had a camera. She walks over to the heavily wounded Tesla, who looks up at her. His eyes were saying everything; he's close to death. Kenpachi made one heavy strike.
"You can't move either, can you?" Retsu asks.
"N-no ma'am. But, Nnoitra-sama's....he was killed." Tesla says, still in shock.
"You must've had high respect for him."
"I did. And that blood-thirsty Shinigami actually kills him."
"I can't say I'm sorry for your loss, but I think I'll make an exception."
"...Thank you..."
Retsu looks over at the still Ressurected Nnoitra; he had yet to turn into ash. Which is weird, since turning into ash should be immediate. She walks over to him, being cautious. She kneels down and runs her hand above his body to see if she can feel any reiatsu left. She becomes shocked; he still had some life left. She stands up, looks around, and finds Nel, up against a large boulder that used to be a wall. Walking over, Retsu discovers Nel is just barely awake, but okay. Nel is also in her child form, making it very easy for Retsu to pick her up and use Keikatsu, while Minazuki gulps up Grimmjow (much to his disgust), Tesla, and even Nnoitra. This means its carrying four people now. Retsu uses Shunpo to join us. Mosqueda and I watch as Nel is slowly healed. Then again, slowly isn't the word to use; Nel was better in a matter of seconds!
"W-where am I? Who are you?" Nel asks now fully awake.
"Squad 4 Captain, Retsu Unohana. And I just healed you. Listen, Wonderweiss here wants to create a team of his own using those who have fallen or been defeated. Would you like to join?" Retsu answers.
"And take down Lord Aizen? Is he insane?" Nel freaks.
"Need...to...stop...Aizen..." I argue.
"But he's too strong! He'll destroy us all!" Nel argues back.
"It's important. Aizen wants to destroy this Karakura Town, and Wonderweiss has bonded with people from there." Mosqueda says.
"Ichigo!" I say.
"Wait, you know Ichigo? Nel will do anything to help Itsugo!" Nel soon agrees.
"{Well that was easy. Augh, I need to get an Easy Button for occasions like this.}" I thought.
Minazuki retracts its feet, and soon we're off to the outside of the dome, where Ichigo, Uryuu, Orihime, and Ulquiorra are. Chad and Renji can hold off Yammy a bit longer; I think Rukia just killed Rudabon. I feel her joining the guys in order to fight Yammy.
"Mosqueda?" Retsu asks.
"Yes, ma'am?" he asks.
"Do you know where the Hogyoku is?" Retsu asks.
"Um, I know where it's hidden, but I don't know where the chamber is. But Wonderweiss does." he replies.
"Hmm, okay, Wonderweiss, could you do me a favor? Go get me the Hogyoku, and meet us at the top of this tower." Retsu asks.
"Uh-huh!" I nod.
I jump off Minazuki as it keeps heading up, quickly use Garganta, and fall into it. What I didn't expect was how quickly I fell onto the floor in the Hogyoku Chamber. I was in total pain for five minutes just lying there. Just when I thought my Hierro was strong, it really isn't. However, I recover and make my way to the Hogyoku Container thingy. This didn't feel like it was Aizen's Shikai; it'd be impossible anyway with him being gone. I open it up, and...w-where's the Hogyoku?! All I find is a note from Gin. Now I see why everybody hates that giant Q-Tip. Wait...this isn't right. Aizen banned Gin from the chamber when he tried to use it for something inappropriate. I toss away the note, and the Hogyoku is right underneath it. I grab it, use Garganta, and appear on the top of the tower.
When I arrived, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Ichigo looked like a pure demonic Hollow! Looking around, I find Nel still in Retsu's arms, scared as hell, Uryuu on the ground bleeding, Orihime in panic, and Ulquiorra about to be Cero'ed. There's no way he was going to evade that in time. As Ichigo fires a Cero from his horns, I use Sonido to appear in front of Ulquiorra, much to his surprise. I then quickly charge and fire the my own Cero from my mouth, and both his and mine collide. An explosion quickly occurs, smoke covering the battlefield. I charge through it, spot Ichigo coming out, and grab his horns. As he spins around violently, struggling to get me off, one of the horns snaps, and I go flying into the already injured Uryuu. Ichigo falls on his back, that mysterious hole in his chest closing, and his mask breaking off. That long hair of his also becomes shorter, back to normal, and he returns to normal, as if nothing ever happened.
"Wonderweiss Margera, what do you think you are doing? And why do you have the Hogyoku?" Ulquiorra demands.
"Not another step, Mr. Emo-Bat." Retsu demands.
Ulquiorra didn't seem affected by the scary aura Retsu lets off. How typical.
"And who are you?" Ulquiorra asks.
Ichigo comes to, shaking off what had happened, and looks over at Retsu. He then looks around finding everyone else, and a giant manta ray in his face. He flinches back before Minazuki could gulp him up too.
"What's going on?" Ichigo freaks.
After a while, I manage to get Chad, Renji, Rukia, and even Yammy to join us up on top of the tower. Mayuri and Nemu appear with a golden chariot, found in Szayel's treasure trove, along with Kenny and Yachiru, Byakuya, Isane, and Hanataro. Retsu, Mosqueda, Nel, and I fill them in on what I want to do: form a team and stop Aizen. Just about everyone seemed to agree, including Uryuu who was being healed by Orihime. But then, something started to move around in Minazuki's stomach. It sounded like the revived Nnoitra. Soon, one of Szayel's four wings pops out of its mouth. One could hear the two arguing.
"Move you p*ssy!"
"Don't call me that, you scoundral!"
"Just move! This is f*cking disgusting!"
"I can't move well either, you idiot! Whatever we're in is holding us tighter than an embryo!"
"I'll make you an embryo!"
"I'd like to see you try, Mr. 5th Espada!"
Retsu says, "Minazuki, you can spit them out now. You'll need the room to revive Luppi."
"Who said 'revive Luppi'? I'll f*cking kill ya!" Grimmjow shouts.
Minazuki rears up on its feet, then lunges down, spitting out Nnoitra, Szayel, Grimmjow, and Tesla, all in that order. We all dodge the used stomach acids, even though it's good for us. They all try to shake off the medicine and ointments, before they find all their wounds are gone.
"Ugh, I so need a change of clothes. Let's go inside, since I heard someone plans on reviving Luppi." Szayel says, completely disgusted.
"Um, Szayel Aporro-sama, Las Noches is fairly destroyed." Tesla says.
"Well, we could bring you back to Soul Society and get you Shinigami clothes." Isane suggests.
"Give me a break, bitch." Nnoitra growls, as he seals his Ressurecion.
"Nnoitra-sama, it may be a good idea. This stuff is starting to stick." Tesla states.
"We can't let them back into Soul Society. They'll destroy it." Kenny says.
"But they're becoming all sticky, like tree sap, Ken-chan!" Yachiru says.
"Are you calling me a sap?" Grimmjow growls.
"Why not? All the other Espada are saps besides me. I'm going inside now." Szayel says.
"Isane, why don't you bring some fresh clothes for these men? I'll wait here with Minazuki and Wonderweiss." Retsu sugests.
"Uh, yes ma'am, Captain Unohana!" Isane says.
"Although I can use Garganta now, I am not sure letting your Lieutenant go through is the best option. After all, I'm a scientist; she'll become my lab rat in an instant." Mayuri says.
Ichigo stands and says, "You love making thing difficult, don't you?"
Ulquiorra says, "Forget him. There are extras inside this tower. Wonderweiss, bring Unahana and her creature to where Luppi died."
"Okay." I submit.
Cirucci Thunderwitch: one of three Privaron Espada. She is number 105. In the Japanese Version of the anime and manga (even translated) her last name is said as Thunderwitch. In the English Dub, is is pronounced and spelled in both anime and Shonen Jump as "Sanderwitch". I fully oppose this, since America sucks at dubbing correctly. They even screwed up Nnoitra, pronouncing and spelling it as "Nnoitora". Although Cirucci didn't last long, this is insult to injury.
Ulquiorra kills Ichigo: this happens so far, only in the manga, and hopefully gets to be seen in the anime counterpart. Ulquiorra kills Ichigo, creating a large hole in his abdomen and chest, using a Cero that is as fast as a Bara, Cero Oscuras. This forces the Hollow in Ichigo (possibly) to lose control, and fully emerge, causing Ichigo to go berserk and kill Ulquiorra.
Wondy See, Wondy Do: a deviationt created by a member on DeviantArt. They took two panels, making it into a "motivational poster": Grimmjow stabbing Luppi, which Weissy was around to see, and Wonderweiss stabbing Jushiro. It is also a play on "Money See, Monkey Do".
Minazuki: Retsu Unohana's Shikai. It has no known command to be released, and when it is, it first appears as a cloud of green gas, then forms into a giant manta ray-like creature, that can heal, fly, and be used as transportation. When it swallows somebody, the stomach acids heal the injured because those acids are actually midecine and ointments. Minazuki then spits out the healed, and returns back to a sword when its duty has been fulfilled.
Keikatsu: a healing spell. It is not in the category of Healing Spells, but can still heal the injured. In Bleach: The Third Phantom, it recovers the HP of those within its limited range, and it isn't just Retsu that can use it. Only certain other characters, such as Kaien Shiba, can use it too.
destroy us all: a line constantly repeated the same way throughout most of an episode of "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" by Billy. He is afraid of clowns, and claims they will "destroy us all". Much to their annoyance, Manda gets Grim to help her cure Billy's fear of clowns, which epically fails, as Billy starts to attack using Grim's scythe instead of running away. In the end, a clown head that Grim tried to bring to life and has a transparent blue balloon body, eats them, and the three and Billy's cat, Milkshakes (who was earlier swallowed) agree they all hate clowns.
My own Cero: Weissy's Cero's power and potential is actuallty unknown since Mashiro decided to kick him in the face. For the fic's sake, it is as strong as the true Hollow Ichigo's Cero (not Hichigo/Ogichi/Shirosaki).
mysterious hole in his chest: the hole in Ichigo's chest is cause by Ulquiorra's Cero Obscuras. (For the life of me, I can't recall if it heals before or after he goes berserk). It was bigger than usual, about half the size of an exercise ball.
