Chapter 4: New 'Life'
They say that being a Hollow is like being signed up to be on the front lines in a nuclear war. A constant battle. Chaos. Dark. Cold. Hatred... Power. But, is it their fault? They didn't ask to become Hollows. Are they the evil ones? Are they wrong?
The blue-haired warrior raised his arm with his palm out. He smirked as a powerful beam of energy shot out from his palm, colliding with his opposition's blast. A cloud of dust smudged the area, causing visual interruption to Kira causing her to close her eyes. She felt something touch her, followed by a twirling sensation. Like she was aimlessly floating in space. Suddenly her body was carelessly dropped to the floor, causing her to open her eyes.
A smirking man sat in front of her on a throne. His face was being held up by his fist.
"Good work,
Grimmjow…" The man gestured without moving.
"Whatever…"
The blue-haired man replied as he turned to walk away. In that quick
second, Grimmjow looked down at the serpent-like Adjuchas. Kira's
chest started to pound when her eyes met Grimmjow's, and her legs
started to quiver. What was this feeling? Even when she was alive she
had never felt this before.
The Arrancar named Grimmjow walked
out of the room with his hands in his pockets. Kira's eyes waltzed
after him, not wandering for a second.
"What is your name?" A
voice came from behind Kira
She hissed as she quickly rotated
towards the man sitting in the throne.
"…Kira" the
Adjuchas replied with a hiss.
"Hmm. Kira. You're very
interesting. That's why I had Grimmjow… retrieve you"
"Cut
the sh. Get to the point" Kira exclaimed, eying Aizen as he sat
in the throne.
"Heh. As you wish" The Arrancar leader said as
he stood up.
Aizen explained Hollows to Kira. As well as Soul Society. The Arrancar. Hollow evolution. Even the Hogyoku.
"So
you're saying that I can… become stronger?"
"Oh yes. Much
stronger" Aizen replied as he eyed the Hogyoku
"How? Tell me
how?!"
"Why do you desire power, so much?"
"Power's
everything. Without it you're just a nobody. Look at you. You have
to be very powerful if you have the Arrancar under your
fist.."
Aizen headed towards the exit in the room, gesturing Kira to follow him. After moments of endless walking, Aizen had led Kira to what seemed like a desert. Roars and screams echoed through the air as they headed towards a cliff. As Kira looked down her eyes widened. Not in horror, or surprise, but in excitement. Below her was a huge crater filled with various different Adjuchas. It was a blood bath. They were tearing each other apart with everything they had.
"The last one standing will definitely become stronger" Aizen said, staring at the war below him.
Kira quickly stepped
back, as if she was getting a running head start.
"Oh! Before
you go. I forgot to mention something. In order for an Adjuchas to
survive they need to feed on other Adjuchas. And seeing as we're
low on Adjuchas here in Hueco Mundo... I think it'd be best for you
to devour every last one of them. That or… die"
Aizen's words echoed in Kira's mind as she lept off of the cliff, diving straight into the carnage below. Kira quickly spun in the air, whipping her snake like tail at an Adjuchas that was lying on the ground defeated, but not dead. Kira's tail gripped around its neck, tightening until the Adjuchas drew its last breath. Kira spun around, hurling the corpse at an approaching Adjuchas.
A figure suddenly appeared next to Aizen with great speed.
"Interested?"
Aizen said to the figure.
"I'm just bored…" replied
Grimmjow as he watched Kira fight her way through the chaos…
