This chapter had one major problem: IT TOOK SO LONG TO FIND AN ENDING SONG! Argh! I still haven't found one and it's been AN HOUR AND A HALF!
Ya know what? It's been 2.5 hours. The first song I hear that even SLIGHTLY works from now on will be IT.
Ending Song: I Won't Give Up – Jason Mraz Took me 3 hours to find a song :(
NEW WORD RECORD: THIS CHAPTER WAS ALMOST 3,000 WORDS~!
Sosuke Aizen: So what's the question this time?
Gin Ichimaru: It was asked last time, remember? Where the heck did this story come from?
Kisuke Urahara: And what were you saying in chapter twelve about this being an anime?

MiracleAngel500: He said nothing about this being an anime. He just said you people were anime characters. There's a difference.

Sosuke Aizen: Well, see, I found out about this anime-

Gin Ichimaru: The wha-?

Gin Ichimaru: Where the heck is this place?
Mayuri Kurotsuchi: Hello, Ichimaru...
Gin Ichimaru: Oh shit!
Shukuro Tsukishima: Hands off, Kurotsuchi. You don't exactly run this place.

Gin Ichimaru: Someone going to answer me, or no? Where is this?
Shukuro Tsukishima: We call it the Waiting Room. You've been here before... in Chapter One, for example. It's where we are when we aren't in the story.
Gin Ichimaru: Then... why is it just a plain white room?
MiracleAngel500: So I can focus on the people who ARE in the story. Now will you guys be quiet? I'm trying to focus on what's going on in the plot.
Tier Halibel: Well, Kurotsuchi is trying to kill Gin... Tsukishima is always complaining because Ginjo hasn't tried to rescue him yet... and I've been "on vacation" the whole story.
MiracleAngel500: Oh be quiet :(
.
Sosuke Aizen: So anyway, this anime-
MiracleAngel500: I'm back. Aizen, no spoilers. The rest of you, change the subject. Ask another question.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Um, this is really the one we want answered.

Ichigo Kurosaki: Not really, no.

MiracleAngel500: WILL YOU KINDLY SHUT UP!
Grimmjow Jaegerjaques: Not really, no.

Coyote Starrk: Technically... yawn... chapter 24. But that was the Extras chapter. It doesn't... yawn... count.
Shukuro Tsukishima: And the only reason I'm still here is because you keep putting off Ginjo's rescue mission. So I'm slightly mad.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi: And when do I get to come back and kill the Quincy?

MiracleAngel500: Damn it, I can't write for ALL of you! There's too many! And I really need you to be quiet so I can concentrate on the freaking CHAPTER.

Sosuke Aizen: So where did she come from?
MiracleAngel500: Mira's an original character. I made her up for another fanfiction. I just put her in this story because I needed more people on my side.
Sosuke Aizen: So we have you scared :)

MiracleAngel500: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!
Tier Halibel: Tsukishima and Ichimaru are dueling Kurotsuchi and Komamura, quite possibly to the death. Yamamoto is considering stepping in but Kyoraku and Ukitake are stopping him.

Tier Halibel: Who?
MiracleAngel500: Well, there's you, Gin, Tsukishima, Grimmjow, Kyoraku, or Starrk. Fight it out. I have to go make sure Sosuke Aizen dies a painful death.

Shunsui Kyoraku: Well... I'd rather sleep...

Shukuro Tsukishima: That crazy reader person won't exactly let the Writer keep me out of the story for long, so I'll wait for her to intervene. Won't be long. Then the Writer will HAVE to make Ginjo come to find me.

Tier Halibel: Well... here. But you mean in the story? I think it was mentioned in Chapter Seven that I'm "on vacation".

Mayuri Kurotsuchi: Oh yeah... she actually killed off Barragan, didn't she.

Shukuro Tsukishima: It's weird to think people can actually die in this story. So far, we've easily defeated every obstacle put in our way, because she doesn't want to anger the readers.
Coyote Starrk: But if we push her too hard, she might simply end it.
Gin Ichimaru: It's a chance we're willing to take. That's how this rebellion works. We're taking the chance that we might die.

Sosuke Aizen: Well... there's plenty of other people here...
MiracleAngel500: I'm the writer. I dictate that – since I have no setting currently – you are in Hueco Mundo. All the Espada are currently in the off-screen set, so there isn't anyone else there...

Tier Halibel: :) I'll try to bring you guys back into relevance. I won't get into any battles, though. It's my nature.
Gin Ichimaru: C'mon, Halibel, you have to save Aizen!
Tier Halibel: Um, didn't he try to kill me...?
Gin Ichimaru: When was this? Oh, right, before the crazy facebook stuff...
MiracleAngel500: Hi, I'm back. Aizen broke the fourth wall. I am SO going to kill him. So, um, about your decision? And I swear if I hear a peep out of any of you after this I am going to kill you off.
Shukuro Tsukishima: Halibel.
MiracleAngel500: Oh... all that dramatic tension I built up, and Gin isn't going to save Aizen's butt XD that's hilarious.
Tier Halibel: Gin still disagrees with this decision...
MiracleAngel500: Majority rules. Right, I'll open the portal. Halibel, follow me through, 'kay? I have a really GREAT chapter I can write with you! :)
Tier Halibel: ...awesome! :)
Author's Note: So I hope you liked this chapter. I built up all that dramatic tension for Gin to save Aizen and then realized the Espada would pick Halibel over Gin and Aizen. Ha, that was unexpected, oops! But I have to go with it, it's what I've written. So... Aizen dies next chapter, and Halibel will make a special appearance! :)
End of Chapter Twent-
Why isn't the music playing? I know I picked an ending song...
I think there's more happening. More I must write.
Back to the story, it's not over!

She looks back. She didn't mean to look back, but as soon as she does, she knows her fate.
Tier Halibel: The Elements of Death. Each Espada has one.
Nnoitra Gilga: Yeah, we know. So?
Tier Halibel: Like Szayel, who is Insanity, or Grimmjow, who is Destruction.

Shukuro Tsukishima: Better hurry with your goodbyes, Halibel. For all we know she'll get impatient.
Tier Halibel: My Element of Death is Sacrifice. It's one of the most powerful elements... and one of the most painful. Because I always have a choice.
Shunsui Kyoraku: I think the Writer can wait. Quiet Tsukishima, I want to hear this. I don't know much about the Element of Death stuff.
Tier Halibel: Every time I want to use my full power, I have to sacrifice my dignity. Every time I want to protect my dignity, I sacrifice my ability to breathe fresh air, cage myself with this mask. And every time I want to make a choice... every time I think Sacrifice comes with a choice...
Coyote Starrk: Halibel? What are you talking about?
Tier Halibel: The universe will always prove me wrong. I have no choice. Gin!
Gin Ichimaru: Yeah?
Tier Halibel: I only have one goodbye to say, and it's to you.
.
MUSIC STARTS
.
DevilsEyeAlchemist13: She kissed him! She kissed him! :D Yet another pairing off my checklist!
MiracleAngel500: Wait, what's going on in that dimension?
DevilsEyeAlchemist13: I didn't know you put my pairing in this chapter!
MiracleAngel500: Your GinXHalibel? I didn't.
DevilsEyeAlchemist13: Then THEY did!
.
Tier Halibel: Now get out of here, Gin, and tell Aizen this doesn't mean I've forgiven him. I'm Sacrifice. Every time I want to save someone else... I am the one who gives up something of my self.
MiracleAngel500: Finally, someone's coming through the portal...
Tier Halibel: In this case, I sacrifice my chance to leave, to save you.
MiracleAngel500: Halibel?
Tier Halibel: Do not forget. Someday your soul will demand you make a sacrifice. When that happens, remember me.
MiracleAngel500: GIN?! WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Gin Ichimaru: You should have researched the Elements of Death. Then you would know.
MUSIC STRENGTHENS
Tier Halibel: When I look into your eyes, it's like watching the night sky
Gin Ichimaru: Or a beautiful sunrise, there's so much they hold
Tier Halibel: And just like them old stars, I see that you've come so far, to be right where you are. Gin Ichimaru: How old is your soul?
Tier Halibel: Well, I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough
Gin Ichimaru: I'm giving you all my love
Tier Halibel: I'm still looking up
Gin Ichimaru: And when you're needing your space, to do some navigating, I'll be here patiently waiting... to see what you find!
Sosuke Aizen: 'Cause even the stars they burn!
Shukuro Tsukishima: Some even fall to the earth!
Ichigo Kurosaki: We've got a lot to learn.
Uryu Ishida: God knows we're worth it.
Gin Ichimaru: No, I won't give up!
Tier Halibel: I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily, I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make!
Gin Ichimaru: Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got, yeah.
Tier Halibel: We got a lot at stake
Sosuke Aizen: And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend for us to work
Gin Ichimaru: We didn't break
Toshiro Hitsugaya: We didn't burn
Kisuke Urahara: We had to learn how to bend
Soi Fon: Without the world caving in
Tier Halibel: I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am
Gin Ichimaru: I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough, I'm giving you all my love
Tier Halibel: I'm still looking up, still looking up.
Gin Ichimaru: Well, I won't give up on us
Kugo Ginjo: (no I'm not giving up)
Tier Halibel: God knows I'm tough enough
Shukuro Tsukishima: (I am tough, I am loved)
Sosuke Aizen: We've got a lot to learn
Karin Kurosaki: (we're alive, we are loved)
Yuzu Kurosaki: God knows we're worth it
Ichigo Kurosaki: (and we're worth it)
Gin Ichimaru: I won't give up on us
Tier Halibel: Even if the skies get rough
Gin Ichimaru: I'm giving you all my love
Tier Halibel: I'm still looking up
"I'll come back for you..."
"I'll be here."
A/N-Gah, they got me. :P I wasn't expecting Gin to come through that portal O.O Dangit Halibel, why did you have to pick today to save the world...
Read "A Necessary Sacrifice" by Riza Winters to see where the idea for Halibel's Sacrifice monologue came from – I loved writing that.
100th reviewer prize successfully written. :) That was very fun. And Aizen HAS broken the fourth wall, we will see some funny moments in future chapters when they see the episodes.
Why do I feel like this story has gotten somewhat LESS funny? Whoops, sorry.
So guess what's coming next chapter?
Because I don't know. I'm just going to write it – and if anything unexpected happens, it's their fault. Aizen and the rest, I mean.
Hope you enjoyed, DevilsEyeAlchemist13. Thanks, guys, for 100 reviews
