Habilidades Revelaciones y Vasto Lordes
(Abilities Revelations and Vasto Lordes)
It's been a while since Ichigo's group had taken in Nel and her "brothers". Who knows how long it's been? As spiritual beings, time meant nothing to them. For all they knew, they could have been hollows for months or centuries. They never went to the real world, so they had no idea what month, day or year it was. They didn't really care, either. They weren't immortal by any means. A spiritual being's life-span, whether they were hollows, shinigami, arrancar, or regular human souls, was about five-thousand years. Every fifty years, they physically aged one year. So they would look about one hundred years old by the end of their life time. The only things that could kill a spiritual being were old age, or by outside means. Meaning if they're injured enough, or if they're murdered they will die. They were also immune to diseases, and things such as radiation. Ichigo's group's only goal in their existence was to become strong, after they gained strength…well, they'll cross and burn that bridge when they reach it.
Honestly, the only reason they wanted power was to survive in Hueco Mundo. They just wanted to survive, and live in peace. It was a vicious circle. They need power to survive, when they achieve it, more enemies will come to challenge them, thus more power is required. Then the process begins all over again. Such a chaotic existence honestly frightened them. They all had plans when they were alive, but now what?
The four Adjuchas, two hollows, and single arrancar walked the barren sands of Hueco Mundo, all were silent, leaving them with their thoughts.
'I have to become stronger to protect everyone!' Thought Ichigo.
'If we become arrancar, will Ichigo and I be able to conceive and raise children?' Thought Orihime with a blush.
'Perhaps if we become arrancar, we will be able to return to the real world and see our families?' Masaki pondered.
'After everything is over, what happens then. Will it ever end?' Thought Sora.
'If we figure out how to turn dem into arrancars, maybe Itsygo will mewy(marry) me?' Nel was thinking and blushing to herself.
Pesche and Dondochakka were deadlocked in a fierce battle of wills and wit. Yep, they were…playing rock, paper, scissors. When Pesche won for the thousandth(they've been playing for a while) time, Dondochakka went into one of his little "episodes". Despite his imposing stature, Dondochakka was prone to having tear-filled outbursts.
"Bwahahaha," Dondochakka wailed, over exaggerated anime tears spilling from his eyes. "I'm no good at this game! Let's play something else." The four Adjuchas were getting tired of Dondochakka's loud behavior. Not that he was disliked. The two groups had grown exceptionally close, and truth be told, their antics greatly amused the Adjuchas. But they, especially Pesche and Dondochakka, took it too far. They were trying to cross the deserts of Hueco Mundo as inconspicuously as possible, dammit! Ichigo was about to tell Dondochakka to be quiet, that is until they felt it.
Too late.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
God damn, it was boring! There was literally nothing to do. All anyone here could do was wander and eat. Well, he didn't have to eat anymore. He was done with that sort of thing. But he still enjoyed a good meal from time to time. He was a simple wanderer though, he really couldn't remember the last time he had a meal. He had heard about some Shinigami that had come to Hueco Mundo, something about war against the Shinigami. That wasn't really his thing though. It's not like he liked Shinigami, it's just he understood them. He knew that hollows were fallen souls that needed to be purified, and that it was the job of Shinigami to do that. They were, technically, the saviors of the Hollows. But, like humans, hollows were xenophobes. They feared the Shinigami because they didn't understand them or the need of purification. That and Shinigami were kind of scary, after all they were always swinging around those Zanpakuto, and casting spells. Either way, he didn't believe that going to war would solve anything. It would just result in nothing but death, for both Shinigami and Hollow alike. It just wasn't worth it. He wasn't some kind of saint among the Hollows, he killed for fun on occasion. He just had common sense, and he believed in "Survival of the Fittest". His ears perked up. Was someone crying? He started climbing up the side of the sand dune, quietely peaking over its edge. His eyes widened, 'Four Adjuchas!?' He smiled, 'It's my lucky day. I've been looking for something to kill.' Indeed it was four adjuchas, two hollows, and a small arrancar. Those didn't interest him though. He stood up, and lept down a couple feet in front of them.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Quick, everyone get together!" Ichigo yelled. "Something big is here." He said. A couple feet in front of them a hollow landed in front of them. An enormous spiritual pressure enveloped them all. It brought them all down to their knees. Nel was shaking aginst Masaki's left hind leg. The Hollow was covered in a dark brown fur. Not an inch of it was skin. From the neck down it had the body of a man(A/N: Except the genitals.). It was well muscled. It's head wasn't the head of a man, no, it had the head of a bull. Ivory horns curved out of the top of it's head, sharp teeth peeked out of it's muzzle. This hollow looked just like a Minotaur. Even though it looked pretty fearsome, only one thing truly frightened them, this was…a Vasto Lorde.
"Well, I never expected to find such a good bounty here." It said with a grotesque smile. "Well, let's get started, defend yourselves. Don't worry, I won't attack the three weaklings, I'm only interested in you Adjuchas." At his words, Masaki quickly ushered an unconscious Nel, Pesche and Dondochakka to a nearby boulder. She looked at Pesche and Dondochakka.
"Protect her with everything you have, alright." She said gesturing to the unconscious Nel.
"Of course!" They answered simultaneously. She quickly ran back to the "battlefield" and prepared herself. The hollow simply stood there, unmoving. They didn't know what to expect, they had never fought against a Vasto Lorde before. Then it vanished. It's speed wasn't all too impressive, but Ichigo was frozen in place due to the Vasto Lorde focusing it's spiritual pressure on him, freezing him in place. The other's were too slow to react to it's sudden move. Subsequently, it succeeded in it's attack. It punched Ichigo square on the jaw. It's speed wasn't all too impressive, but it's strength was phenomenal. Ichigo was in a world of pain, and his body was launched several hundred feet. From one punch! The other's didn't have time to look on in horror, for right after it punched Ichigo it rotated it's body in mid-air, delivering a scissor-kick to Masaki's face. She too went flying. The hollow landed on all fours, and jumped towards Orihime. Delivering a head-butt that knocked the wind out of her. The pain was doubled due to the fact this hollow had horns. She was launched at a high-speed, and she flew right passed Sora's massive snake head. Sora's mistake was turning his head, watching Orihime fly passed him in horror. The hollow used this opening to deliver an uppercut to the giant King Cobra, making him fly several hundred feet in the air before falling back to earth with an enormous thud.
Pesche and Dondochakka watched in horror. This hollow managed an attack on four Adjuchas class hollow within five seconds! Vasto Lorde's were powereful, but usually two or more high class Adjuchas could achieve victory even over an average Vasto Lorde class hollow. And they knew that their four Adjuchas companions were better than the average Adjuchas. This was a truly terrifying opponent. Neither of them noticed Nel waking up.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Ichigo stood up warily. That was one hell of a punch. He took a couple of steps, trying to regain his equilibrium. He saw the Vasto Lorde standing several yards away, sooking relaxed. It made his blood boil. He knew he was faster than the enemy, but if he got punched it would buy the hollow plenty of time to counter attack. Looking off to his left he saw his mom trying to stand. She finally stood, somewhat swaying from left to right. When they made eye contact, Ichigo nodded to her. She nodded back.
Masaki charged forward straight towards the hollow. She wasn't as fast as Ichigo, but she was fairly quick. When she reached about half way she opened her muzzle, immediately firing a red Cero. It went straight for the hollow.
CRASH!
There was loud explosion. Masaki stopped cold, thinking she bought some time for Ichigo to attack. However, these thoughts were crushed as the smoke cleared. The Vasto Lorde stood there, unharmed. Before she could react the hollow vanished, and appeared before her, knocking her away. As she flew threw the air, she smirked.
The instant the hollow knocked Masaki, Ichigo appeared before him. Incapable of defending himself in such short notice and close range, Ichigo delivered his own punch to the hollows face. The hollow was launched away at enormous speed and velocity. Before it could regain it's bearings, it was hit by a bright orange Cero. Orihime had waited for the perfect opportunity to attack, and when she saw the Vasto Lorde speeding towards her, she waited until it was at a close range before firing her signature orange Cero. The blast immediately changed the hollows direction. Now he seemed to be speeding towards the open desert. Before he could actually be knocked out of the vicinity, Sora had sped towards the Vasto Lorde, coiling his snake body around the Hollow, squeezing the life out of it.
Sora kept a tight hold on the Vasto Lorde, making sure it couldn't so much as budge. It was approached by Ichigo, Orihime and Masaki. Nel and her brothers stood watching in morbid fascination.
"Wow, you guy's actually managed to subdue me. I'm impressed." The Vasto Lorde said. "Though, you guys shouldn't approach an enemy you know nothing about." It said with a smirk. A cero was launched from his horns. It shot upwards hitting Sora under his head, forcing him to release his grip on the hollow. Sora landed in a heap, unconscious. The Vasto Lorde then fired another Cero. This one was directed at Ichigo. It sped towards him at an alarming rate, Masaki looked on in horror. This Cero was a shot to kill. If this hit Ichigo, there might not be anything left. 'No. Ichigo!'
Orihime leapt in front of Ichigo in an attempt to shield him. 'I can't let Ichigo-Sama die.' She had mixed feelings, even though she felt pride in being able to save her Lord and protector, she didn't want to die. She felt her self-preservation instincts kicking in.
BOOM!
Masaki dropped her head. She may have lost her son and the girl she considered a daughter. She faintly heard Sora mutter a 'No' under his breath. Apparently he woke up in time to see his sister and surrogate brother get blown to smithereens. The dust began to settle, but Masaki didn't bother looking.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me! Is this really happening!?" The Vasto Lorde yelled, agitated. Masaki raised her head, her eyes widening in awe, she could hear Sora gasp behind her. There stood Ichigo and Orihime completely unharmed from the Cero, before them a large yellow glowing shield protecting them. The shield was shaped looked a triangle which pointed downward. Quickly, taking advantage of the Vasto Lorde's shock, Sora quickly pinned the hollow down once more. Instantly everyone was in front of the hollow. They all began charging a Cero. 'Shit.' Was the only thought going through the Vasto Lorde's head. They all fired.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Nel, Pesche and Dondochakka saw how they blew away the Vasto Lorde. The fight was devastating, and the vicinity looked like a war-zone. But they won. They didn't come out yet, they would wait for their retrieval. They watched their comrades converse with the hollow for a short while. The Vasto Lorde raised it's hand, and to everyone's surprise, it fired a Cero. It pierced Ichigo's chest and came towards them. It came fast, and it hit the boulder that shielded them. It shattered and rocks fell all around them. 'Gotta protect Nel!' Both Pesche and Dondochakka thought frantically. "Ahh!" They heard a painful shriek. They saw Nel on the ground, tending to her leg. It was bleeding and the bone was sticking out, obviously broken. Thankfully, that was her only injury. They took her behind a large, dead tree. Away from any imminent dangers, and helped her tend to her leg.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
They approached the defeated Vasto Lorde. It's spiritual pressure was dropping rapidly, eventually it would reach absolute zero, meaning death.
"Heh. Who woulda thought I'd be taken out so easily. I guess I got cocky." He knew what was coming. They were gonna devour him. No doubt tryng to become Vasto Lorde themselves. "Ya'know, I'm glad I was defeated. I'll be free from this fighting and eternal boredom, but I still don't like you guys." In one last display of speed and power, he raised his hand and launched his final Cero. It pierced Ichigo in the torso, completely disintegrating his center, leaving a gaping hole. The Cero continued to travel out of their line of sight. "At least I got one of you." He laughed. "Hey you got two holes now." He said with a light chuckle, his body convulsed lightly before slumping to the ground, dead. They didn't care of course, right now they were horrified. Ichigo fell backwards, onto the sand, bleeding out profusely. They huddled around Ichigo, not knowing what to do. Pesche and Dondochakka approached slowly, with Nel sitting on Dondochakka's head, not able to walk, due to her broken leg. No one cried except for Nel, as hollows they couldn't. But they still felt like shit. Nel continued wailing.
"Ichigo you can't die." Masaki said in a subdued tone. "Weren't you going to become a Vasto Lorde and protect us all?" She asked. Dondochakka put Nel on the ground next to Ichigo. She crawled over to him.
"Itsygo! Itsygo! You can't die, Itsygo! Itsygo!" She continued to cry. Nel was the only one making any noise. They all just stood looking at Ichigo. His spiritual pressure was dropping, quickly. In another minute or so, he'd be dead. 'What was the point in saving Ichigo-Sama, if this was just going to happen!' Orihime though. 'Ichigo-Sama can't die! We still rely on him! I…I…I love Ichigo-Sama! He can't die!' She thought desperately. She quickly knelt down and embraced Ichigo, not paying any attention to the blood.
"DON'T DIE ICHIGO-SAMA!" Orihime screamed. She simply held on, not paying attention to her surroundings. Masaki gasped. That shield Orihime projected earlier was back again, this time covering Ichigo's body. At first they didn't think anything of it, but then Ichigo's wound started to heal. Slowly, but it was healing. His spiritual pressure started rising again. 'Is Orihime doing this?' Ichigo and everone else thought.
"Orihime, look." Masaki said. Orihime looked up and gasped. That shield again. She stood up, looking at the shield in wonder. It started fading. "Don't lose control, Orihime! Keep healing him!" Masaki screamed. Orihime didn't really know what to do. She held her arms forward, focusing intently on healing Ichigo. The shield glowed even brighter than before, and it disappeared in a flash of light, leaving a completely healed, but awestruck Ichigo in it's place. Ichigo stood up, wavering slightly. He stepped towards Orihime, and embraced her. She returned the embrace, then Nel hugged Ichigo's leg. Then Masaki, Pesche, Dondochakka leaned into the embrace. Sora slowly wrapped his body around them all, in his own makeshift embrace. All happy that Ichigo was alive and well.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
The four Adjuchas had devoured the Vasto Lorde. Much to their chagrin, none of them evolved. Although, Ichigo and Orihime received a massive boost in power. It was near suffocating to the other's now. Orihime was practicing her strange healing and shielding powers. She managed to summon them but it was fairly difficult to maintain. It was a stretch, but they all deduced that Orihime's power was that of rejection. It sounded crazy, but it made perfect sense. An impenetrable shield that prevented harm, and a shield that rejected events from even occurring. If it was a healing technique, it would have left an impressive scar on Ichigo's center, but he was perfectly fine. It was as though the wound never happened. Orihime continued to practice with her newfound abilities, trying to perfect them so that she may heal Nel's broken leg. Off in the distance Sora and Masaki seemed to be conversing away from the others. They seemed to be having a serious conversation.
Orihime finally decided to stop for the day, when she and Ichigo were approached by Masaki and Sora.
"We have to have a talk," Maskai said, with Sora behind her, nodding. "You need to eat us." They stated simultaneously.
"WHAT!?" Ichigo and Orihime yelled in shock. Before they could protest, Sora interrupted them.
"Our power has stopped growing." Seeing that Ichigo and Orihime were silent, he continued. "Masaki and I realized that our power stopped growing after our two-thousandth hollow. Our fears were confirmed when we ate a Vasto Lorde, and our power refused to grow." Masaki spoke up when Sora finished.
"We want you to eat us, so that we may be free of the fear of regression. If you eat us, our evolution will cease, then we don't have to eat anymore and we won't go back to being Menos Grande." Masaki explained. "Besides, we aren't asking you to eat us whole," Masaki lifted her paw, and applied pressure to her left fox ear, breaking it off. Her hollow regeneration instantly created a new ear, leaving no trace of a missing ear. She nudged the broken triangular ear towards Ichigo. "Just a small part of us." Ichigo lifted the bony fox ear between his fingers. He looked at Orihime. She was holding a large white scale in her hand, no doubt from Sora. He nodded to her. They both bit into their respective piece. A flash of light engulfed them. Sora, Masaki, and the rest had to cover their eyes from the blinding light.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Ichigo felt the familiar pain of the transformation. He felt it all around him, but had no thoughts; the pain numbed his ability to think. His thick, bony hollow skin seemed to be crushed and absorbed into his body, creating a soft, smooth, almost human skin. The only thing that made it seem inhuman was the fact it was a pure, bleached white. It was a painful process, too. It seemed to double the pain of the transformation. His body shrunk down to six feet tall, he was still muscular, but his body seemed one-hundred percent human in shape. He had four fingers and one thumb on each hand, and the tips were pointed into sharp claws and were black. His feet were human in shape, too. He now had five toes on each foot. His toes were also pointed into claws and tipped black. His mask changed shape, resembling a grotesque human skull with a viscous visage. His hollow hole stayed in the center of his sternum, but it now had four thick, black stripes that originated from it. The stripes traveled up his neck and onto his head, striping his face with black, pointed markings. He felt an intense pain on the sides of his head, it felt like it was going to explode! Two large horns sprouted from the sides of his head. They protruded outward before growing forward at a ninety degree angle. They curved inward, as though they were going to meet in front of Ichigo's face, but they went forward several more inches. Ichigo now sported two large horns; they certainly made him look more frightening. The roots of the horns were black, but the rest of them were white (A/N: If you want to see him, go to onemanga(dot)com, go to the bleach section, and click on chapter 350 and read on from there. There are also more links in my profile:). The grey fur he had on his wrists and ankles became a crimson red, almost like blood. He stood dazed, trying to regain his lost equilibrium. When he could finally stand and see things clearly, he looked over to Orihime.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Once again, this pain returned. Truth be told, she was happy this was the final stage in evolving. She briefly wondered if becoming an Arrancar would be this painful, but she doubted it. Besides, the chances of them actually becoming Arrancar were slim to none. But, alas, pain overwhelmed her senses and imeded her ability to think. Like Ichigo, her bony hollow skin and armor seemed to be crushed and ground into herself, creating pale white human-like skin on her now-human body. Her hollow hole, which was just above her now-visible bellybutton, seemed to be the origin of orange stripes. The stripes wrapped around her narrow waist, and went down the side of her wide hips stretching down her slender legs. The stripes also went up her torso and over her now-pronounced breasts. The stripes went up over the center, where her nipples would be, but her large breasts were totally smooth. The stripes went upwards and formed a ring around her neck, which then went down the sides of her arms. Her body was slender, but not without muscle. Her stomach was flat and toned, and she had a narrow waist. Her hips were wide and her legs were long and slender. Her butt was bigger now, due to the fact her body was human in appearance, and it was in a lovely heart shape. Her "wings" had disintegrated and her back was smooth, without any indication of anything being there. Her mask had changed again. It was more human, looking sort of like Ichigo's, but the expression on it was softer, almost sweet. The only thing left that resembled her Adjuchas form was the thick ring that was wrapped around her head. She kept her "halo" despite the evolution. The tips of her fingers were shaped into pointed claws, as were her toes. She now stood at five-foot two inches. She felt kind of sick, but once she regained her bearings, she looked over at Ichigo. He was looking right at her, she felt a shiver go up her spine. He was truly very fearsome. Feeling self-conscious, her powers kicked in, bringing out a shield to hide her from view. 'I…I can control them better!' she thought to herself.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Ichigo was looking at Orihime intently, not noticing the others looking at the both of them. 'She's so beautiful.' He thought to himself. Suddenly a glowing shield hid her from view. He was surprised, but then he heard a gasp come from her. The shield disappeared. Orihime then summoned another, then dismissed it. She did this several times.
"Ichigo-Sama! I can control the shields!" She called, running over to the rest of the group, obviously proud of her accomplishment. He was proud of her.
"All right, Orihime!" He said with a laugh. She seemed to become bashful, as she toed the ground in front of her. "I wonder why you didn't have this control before." He wondered out loud.
"Maybe it's because she's a Vasto Lorde now. A Vasto Lorde is the epitome of hollow evolution, now she has absolute control over herself." Masaki said. She and Sora neared them. You could feel the pride coming off of them in waves. "Let's take your newfound control and heal Nel-Chan, alright." Masaki gestured to Nel, who was still nursing her broken leg. The approached her.
"Dat wuz awesome! I've neber seen a Vasto Lorde before! Are you gonna heal my weg now." Nel spoke. Orihime nodded her head. She brought her hands forward and focused. A yellow-glowing shield appeared over Nel's small frame. They all watched in amazement as Nel's leg poped back into place. The flesh began to heal, and soon there wasn't even any blood left. Everyone was silent. Orihime was about to dismiss the shield when Sora stopped her.
"Look!" He exclaimed. The scar on Nel's nose and forehead started to fade. Then her hollow mask started to grow teeth where it was missing some.
"Wut's everybody wooking at?" Nel asked. She couldn't see her mask healing. Pesche and Dondochakka watched, amazed. 'She's healing the damage Nnoitra-Teme left on Nel-Sama!' They both thought. Soon, Nel's cartoonish skull mask had a complete row of teeth, and she was scar-free. No one expected what came next.
BOOM!!
Orihime managed to shield all of them before the explosion could damage any of them.
"Nel-Chan!" Masaki yelled. She had grown attached to the little girl. She considered Nel her own daughter. If something happened to her, she'd be devastated. The dust began to settle, everyone ran forward, desperate to help Nel. When they got there however, they didn't see Nel, instead they saw a beautiful young woman. She looked to be about nineteen or twenty in appearance. She was about five feet eight inches tall. She had Nel's teal hair, and her hot pink "blush" tattoo. She had a green sheet covering her breasts and nether regions, but it left her toned middle exposed.
"N-Nel…Chan? Is that you?" Ichigo was the first one to find his voice. The woman opened her eyes. Same light-gold color, like Nel's.
"Ichigo!" She cried. When she opened her mouth they saw Nel's signature extended incisors on her lower jaw. Her voice was also strangely high pitched for her. It still sounded somewhat child-like. The woman ran forward and glomped Ichigo. She was hugging him rather roughly. Everyone watched, highly amused (A/N: Well, except for Orihime). "Yes. It is I, Nel." She said, suddenly serious, but still hanging on to Ichigo.
"But, Nel-Chan. You're all grown up. What happened?" Ichigo asked. She looked slightly angry, as though remembering something unpleasant.
"It's kind of a long story, so, please, sit." She asked pleasantly. They all sat on the desert sand, getting comfortable. "Before, I was an average hollow. I went through the evolution like everyone else, but I did not achieve Vasto Lorde. I was an Adjuchas. My form was that of a Chamois. One day I stumbled upon a massive city, here in Hueco Mundo. Naturally, I was curious. So I ventured forward. I was met by a Shinigami. His name was Sousuke Aizen. He called the city Las Noches. He offered to make me into an Arrancar through a process he called Shinigamification. What he did was he ripped off my mask, and used his shinigami spiritual pressure to stabilize my own spiritual pressure. The result is what you see before you. I received my original human body and appearance, as well as a boost in strength. The only thing left from my hollow heritage was my chamois skull mask," She pointed to the animal skull sitting on her head. "And a hollow hole." She pulled down her green sheet exposing the top of her cleavage, there was a small ping-pong ball sized hollow hole. Nel continued. "Aizen took me in and introduced me to the other Arrancar. My power was ranked third among the Arrancar, so I became an Espada." She turned around, exposing a large tattoo of a number three on her back. It was in a gothic style font, and it covered her whole back. "Tercera Espada, Neliel Tu Oderschvank."
"What's an Espada?" Orihime asked.
"Espada is the title of the ten strongest Arrancar in Las Noches. The Espada are given privileges that other arrancar don't get. For example, the Espada are allowed to take on underlings called Fracción. They serve their master loyally." She pointed to Pesche and Dondochakka. "These two were my fracción." Nel bowed to them. "Thank you for protecting me throughout my time of weakness in Hueco Mundo."
"No need to thank us, Nel-Sama!" Pesche said
"Yeah, you're our master, don'tcha know. If we can protect you, we'll do it, don'tcha know!"
"Regardless, I thank you." Ichigo finally spoke up.
"If you guys had it so well, what happened? And how did you turn into a child?" He asked. Nel seemed very angry. She was grinding her teeth, and her face flushed.
"Nnoitra-Teme." She ground out. "Nnoitra Jiruga was the Octava(eighth) Espada. He was a male chauvinist. He hated me for simply being a woman with power and ranking higher than a man. He was always fighting me, trying to prove that he was better than me. I always defeated him. One day, in an attempt to get me to fight, he attacked Pesche and Dondochakka. He ripped of their Arrancar mask remains, forcing them back into their hollow forms. This, of course, got me very angry. During our battle, he managed to damage my mask. This caused me to release most of my spiritual pressure, forcing me into a child-like form before it stabalized. I don't know where the amnesia came from, but it happened." Nel finished her tale. They all hung around contemplating on this new information. Such a revelation was not expected. Nel spoke up once more. "From my memories during my child form, I recall you wanted to become Arrancars, if possible. How about I take you to Las Noches, so that Aizen may convert you." She proposed. They were all speechless. Who knew that the key to becoming Arrancars would be in the form of a small child, now turned adult? "When we get to Las Noches, I'm going to kill Nnoitra." This shocked everyone. Nel really didn't seem the kind to swear revenge. "Before, I refused to kill and hold grudges. I always considered those who did nothing but animals, beasts. But what Nnoitra did, he must be punished for. He is mine, understand?" She stated rather forcefully. They all agreed.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
It's been a week since Nel turned back to normal. In that time she was leading them to Las Noches. During that time, Orihime had used her rejection ability to fix Pesche and Dondochakka's masks. Pesche took the form of a sixteen year old man. He had messy blonde hair, and his mask remains covered his right eye and curved upwards creating a small "horn". His skin had an extremely light tan, almost albino white. He was average looking. His hollow hole was in his lower torso.
Dondochakka took the form of a large, bodybuilding man. He looked to be in his late twenties. His head was shaved, except for a small patch on the back of his head, which was pulled into a ponytail. His skin was pure, albino white. He wasn't very good-looking, but he wasn't ugly. His hollow mask remains covered the top left side of his face. It didn't cover his eye, though. It was light red and white. His hollow hole was in his chest. Both Pesche and Dondochakka wore the furs of fallen hollows as makeshift kilts to protect their modesty. As they were back in their Arrancar forms, they were completely human except for their masks and hollow holes.
Together they all ventured to Las Noches.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
A/N: Hey people! Hope you liked the chapter. Nel Pesche and Dondochakka are back to normal! Now they're all headed to Las Noches! What's gonna happen next? That's for me to know, and you guy's to find out! Don't forget to review :)
Adios
