Szayel's Lab

The experiment had been a disaster. Everything was running its course without a hitch until the readings began to show and escalade beyond the parameter. An unfortunate mishap on their part. He squandered through the paperwork meticulously to find the source of what happened but found nothing in the readings that would absolve the mystery. Leaning back into the chair sighing his frustration, Szayel looked to the hell butterfly and tapped on the desk for contact.
"Mayuri have you found any leads to Grimmjow's whereabouts? I can't trace his reiatsu." Keeping contact without disturbance and hearing Mayuri taking out his frustration on something, Szayel opened the image recorder and started re-watching the footage again to see if he spotted anything unusual.

"Blast it all," Mayuri bantered out. "What went wrong? The gates were stable and well on their way to stabilizing the connection. My readings were not wrong!"

"As were mine…" watching the footage slowly and catching something I missed, I stopped the image and zoomed in on the gate leading from the Soul Society. "Mayuri I might have found the culprit." The image unclear until optimizing the visual and getting a clearer image, a creature had snuck from the precipice world. "I do believe we found a stole-away from the precipice world. Its small and perhaps not powerful enough to cause any form of mischief, but having that added body in the gate itself would override our calculations."

"PAH," Mayuri was displeased, but then again as was I since this took a rather long time to get this experiment underway. "So now that we found the cause, where the hell did that other gate take Grimmjow? The rift was uncanny, like it ate him all in one."

"It is baffling…" pinching the bridge of his nose and leaning in his seat, he caught a shadow lurking in the corner. "Hanako?"

"…uncle Szayel did you find daddy?" Her small frame no longer shrouded and coming out, she rubbed her eyes and slowly crawled onto his lap.

"Well, it's a start to finding him." Tapping on the image and showing her, she scrunched her nose and tried to see it. "That little creature there disturbed the readings we worked out. Now we know what caused it…unfortunately the rift that took your father remains a mystery."

"Oh…" her saddened expression made his uneasy, but he called for one of his underlings to cheer her up. "Uncle Szayel, you'll find him, won't you?" The large minion came over to take her away when he set her down and patted her head gently.

"Of course we will," pushing his glasses up, "we are the greatest scientists around. There is nothing we can't solve."

"Hehe, ok," taking the minion's hand and being led out, he turned to his work once more and analyzed everything from the beginning and measured the unknown readings from scratch.
Determined to find the unknown gate and its source, to retrieve Grimmjow and return him home, another experiment might have to be done again. In theory though they would have absolute control of the gates location and perhaps being able to open it willingly.

~oOoOo~

Meticulously tracing back every reading, every fiber, every little molecule, Szayel worked with Mayuri tirelessly to reveal the results of finding Grimmjow's location. Every reading possible was a mishap, but after many failures they managed to trace his reiatsu. A thin thread of his being, nothing more than a string to trace back to him, but he was not too far a distance away and capable of being brought back.

"Now that he is found we just need to open the gate and pull him through."

"The mass is the issue Szayel," Mayuri commented. "We have to find someone with the appropriate body mass relatively close to his to send him to the exact location. Any less or more we would be sending someone flying through space without a set destination."

"I understand the issue Mayuri, but who is around his mass? Surely you jest having someone close to him?" His remark making a point in the matter, Mayuri gave some thought to the issue and had an epiphany. "Mayuri?"

"Renji Abarai," his snide smile a little startling, he pulled a file out and circled a few things before facing the makeshift gate we had rebuilt to hold the new experiment. "78kg, just under 80kg of Grimmjow's weight. With this we can add the extra two on our end and stabilize the gate so we know exactly where he will be sent."

"Hmm," seeing the profile and the results it would come out with, he concurred with this finding. "Then shall you retrieve this Abarai and have him assist in getting Grimmjow back?"

"I'll send my assistant now," calling for his lieutenant and watching her come quickly in a flash and receive her orders, she was gone just as quickly and made her way to the Soul Society. "Now then, shall we prepare everything?"

"Let's," pushing his glasses up and taking off, the delightful feeling of another experiment was coursing through his veins and brought the thrill right back to him.
