Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I'm so happy! ^^


Chapter 4

In Las Noches, he sensed a door. Not just any door. A door releasing huge amount of spiritual pressure.

Why hadn't he sensed the door till now? Something… had been in his way. He cursed that certain something. Steering himself to the door, he noticed how far he had to go down; it was farther than he had ever gone before. When he couldn't go down any further, he began to walk down the dark, long, empty hallway, his footsteps echoing throughout it. In that hallway, there was nothing except for that one door and its torch beside it. Reaching out cautiously, he made his way to the doorknob. An invisible wall of spiritual pressure repelled his hand away.

He smiled.

Using his zanpakuto, he sliced open the invisible shield with ease. Unchecked, its powers had decreased.

His hand went for the knob again, and this time, he was able to open the door with nothing inturupting him. The room held no light whatsoever except from the sorce of the torch, now coming from the opened door. The room was empty except a small bench at its far side. Sitting on that bench was a tall figure.

Aizen could barley make him or her out, for the far side was still covered in darkness. The figure began to laugh. It was a laugh that had been bathed in cruelness.

"Who are you? I would like to know who this spiritual pressure belongs to," Aizen said calmly, entering the room while at it. This spiritual pressure was still far less than his… at least, for now. Aizen smiled, yet again.

Still laughing, the figure said, "I'm Keiji Meiun, the guy who will destroy the shinigamis - Espada Zero! After thousads of years, once more I am…. FREE!!!"


Blood. It was her fault. No! It wasn't… it couldn't have been. Guilt rushed through her body, tears floowing down her cheeks. She could feel someone pulling her away from the battle field. She resisited, crying out, but she was too weak. Anger. Revenge. She would get it no matter the cost.


Hope you people liked it! The flashback was due to anime0angel's idea, and this chapter is practically dedicated to Tenshi No Ashi – I can't thank him enough! :D I'm still accepting ideas for the Third Release, for I can't think of Bayakuya's, Renji's, and so on. Thank you to those who have reviewed, and if you haven't PLEASE REVIEW!!
