Chapter 7: Cracked Masks
Sands of Huceo Mundo
"*Huff* Fuck *Wheeze* my *Pant* afterlife!" Axel wheezed, desperately trying to take some air into his lungs maybe going out of his way to carry four Adjuchas and a freaking Gillian at the same time(Seriously how do?) for hours wasn't the best of his ideas, at this point he was dragging them while Uriel, Harribel, Apacci, Mila Rose, Sung-sun and Grimmjow where walking next to him with the panther Adjuchas having a grin across his face. "Oi! Pussy cat *pant* your face is uglier than usual what gives?"
"Huh? Nothing, I was just remembering when you were acting all high and mighty about your strength and look at you now, hah." Grimmjow chuckled lightly the grin on his face getting wider until Axel kicked some sand into his face. "*Tsk* Why you litt-" As soon as Grimmjow was about to say that Axel smashed one of his arms next to him shutting Grimmjow up.
"Hah, I'm anything but little, pussy cat and another thing your boys are weak shit! I mean all I did was give'm a little love tap and they've been out like babies for hours hahaha!" Axel laughed loudly, then a thought crossed his mind. "That or maybe I'm just way stronger than I thought." He declared, flexing his right arm.
"Hah, there it is again that big dumbass ego of your's, guess I'll knock it out of you again!" Grimmjow snarled, bearing his fangs at Axel who raised a fist in answer dropping the load he was carrying and glared at the panther Adjuchas. The two then unleashed their reiatsu at eachother clashing in waves of blue and green which sounded the bells of battle that is unless another's reiatsu of burning orange didn't completely eclipsed theirs.
"Why must you two continue to act this way towards eachother? It makes the both of you rather unsightly and that is quite distasteful in my eyes even if one of you might be my own brother." Uriel lectured them with great force in his voice as he cast a shadow over Axel and Grimmjow leaving both to lower their heads under his gaze feeling as if they were being baked under the heat of a blazing sun. "I hope that this will be the last time that I have to interfere with your childish banter, Do you understand?" He warned, a very small hint of annoyance coming through his words which is usual reserved for Kusa. (Aww)
"Yes." The two answered in whispers then detached from the eachother all the while Uriel's ever watchful gaze on them.
"Yikes! That's the third time he's had to that and it's still scary." Apacci quietly whimpered, scared stiff by Uriel's display with the feel of it still fresh in the air.
"You can say that again." Mila Rose agreed with Apacci for once in her life and glanced at Uriel from the corner of her eye but quickly looked away when he turned to her.
"...Is there something you would like asked me, Miss Franceska?" He asked, taking his attention off of Grimmjow and Axel for the moment.
"Ahh, n-n-nothing, nothing at all." Mila Rose answered in a bit of a stutter going quiet along with Apacci.
"Oh my, the two monkeys are acting silent for once interesting." Sung-Sun mocked her teammates while she tired badly to stifle a laugh which she knew would get on their nerves.
"Shut it! You damn snake!" Apacci and Mila Rose yelled back at Sung-Sun causing the three to go into a heated argument.
"And the cycle continues..." Uriel started, watching as the three girls went at eachother with hateful words, until his attention was brought to Harribel who was doing the same as he was. "Excuse my rudeness Miss Harribel but may I ask why would you allow those three to stay at your side? I do not mean to speak ill of them but it is just that they are far beneath you in terms of power."
Harribel took her gaze off the girls and onto Uriel. "I simply chose not to follow laws of this world, if I can not win on my own than I will win in a group simple." She answered soundly and now had question of her own for Uriel. "I also have my own question for you Sebas-"
"Pardon my words but a ravishing woman such as yourself does not need to show me respect of any kind even I do the same for you, please you may refer to me by my first name." Uriel interrupted Harribel, bowing his head in apologize.
Harribel was bit taken aback at being called ravishing by Uriel."...I see well then Uriel, even though I have already agreed to come with you and brought along the girls as well who I wish protect. I still feel as if there more to your want for power than achieve your goals, am I correct?" She asked, giving Uriel a questioning look causing him to stop.
"Most impressive that you were able to see through me but not unexpected for one of your caliber..." Uriel smiled at Harribel before continuing. "...Yes you are correct, I seek power for more than just completing my goal, there is also someone I wish to fight on even grounds and pay him back for defeating me in the past. Currently he is far ahead of me even more from the past and I can not allow that to stand for much longer." He answered with a sign of bitterness in his voice at remembering his loss to Kusa but he still turned up a smile which caught Harribel's interest. "But it is very interesting to note that if were not for that same person then I would likely have never met you my dear Harribel.
"What do you mean?" Asked Harribel curiously.
"Ah yes, well you see I once furiously challenge this to a dual after watching my brother and his do battle, and even at that time I still felt as if something was different about this person compared to countless other hollows that I had face in the past, he did not back down even though he knew that he was at a major disadvantage against me at the time, he did not accept help from others when it would have assured him a swift victory, and after turning the tides with all his might coming out the victor of our fight to the death, instead taking my life with last blow he offered me his friendship with no other reason but the fact that he wanted to do it." Uriel retold his fight with Kusa which ended with the two coming to see eachother as allies for the most part.
"From the the way you speak it seem this person has left a bit of an impression on you hasn't he?" Harribel questioned after listening to Uriel's story and wanting to know more about whoever he was talking about.
Uriel stopped to think on Harribel's words. "I suppose so, my outlook on him has change quite significantly with in the time I have be around him, I have watched him grow even stronger than the last time we fought yet he never saw himself as greater than the rest his group and I can say firmly that he is truly someone that I can rely on who will never turn his back on an ally or...friend, someone who I seen as absolutely bea-" He stopped himself from uttering those words when he noticed someone laying face first out in the sand who had some rather familiar reiatsu to them along with some purple hair and the bottom half of a shihakushō. "Disgusting beyond any meaning of the word who should be burnt a thousands times over in the most hellish of infernos!" (Aww! so much love! just let it out)
"What is that out there it feels like a Shinigami but different is that one of guys in change of Las Noches now?" Apacci asked to both Uriel and Axel.
"No. That is just a waste of space that needs to be destroyed, allow me." Answered Uriel aiming with his sword arm and charged it up with burnt orange reiatsu beginning flare out from his body. "Estrella!" Uriel fired his attack at full force the Estrella speeding towards it's target with no sign of slowing down.
"Hmm, Sebastian?" The Estrella's target turning out to be Kusa(No dah!) who lifted himself up just in time for the star to be inches away from his face. "Shi-" With a bright orange explosion in the next instant and a strong shockwave coming right after left a large cloud of sand dancing high into the air.
"Fuck! Bro, take it easy next time!" Axel yelled looking at the aftermath of the attack which was now just smoking cloud.
"Y-y-yea, I think you got'em." Apacci said, standing behind Harribel along with Mila Rose and sung-sun after that one.
"Ha! Take a closer look antlers." Grimmjow corrected her as a sitting silhouette could be seen inside the cloud.
"*Pant* What *huff* the fuck Sebastian!?" Kusa yelled, taking in a few deep breaths while holding up his right hind which was covered in burns marks. "That could've *pant* killed me if I wasn't fast enough." He added before getting to his feet and made his way over glaring at Uriel. "I'm going give him a piece of my mind about that!"
"Hmm? Then may I try again with even greater force to remove such an unsightly stain like you from this world?" Uriel asked in a serious tone while in the middle of readying another Estrella as Kusa got closer.
"Nope! Nope! Nope! I'm good! Believe me! I'm good hahaha!" Kusa laughed while waving his arms in front of him losing whatever anger he had earlier and moved behind Axel just in case. "Sooooo, looks like you two were very productive in your search." He pointed out when he noticed that Axel was carrying some people he did know. "But a Gillian really? That's a bit weak don't you think?"
"Yea and he weights a fuck ton! All of'em follow that little pussy cat over there." Axel agreed with Kusa and pointed over to Grimmjow who growled at him. "Bite me!"
"Careful that thought crossed my mind a few time" Grimmjow warned with a toothy grin ready to go at it with Axel.
"Oh great another battle manic." Kusa groaned under his breath as Axel and Grimmjow started barking at eachother. "And some girls? That's pretty rare." He said, turning to Harribel, Apacci, Mila and Sung-sun. "Oh a Vasto Lorde eh? Looks like you won that bet Sebastian, damn it!" He cussed, kicking some sand away from him.
"I never agreed to your childish game, Tsurugi." Uriel dismissed Kusa's earlier statement with out a care then got right down to business. "More importantly could you enlightenment us on what exactly happen on your search and where are the others, I thought that I was the only one of our group who wanted nothing to do with you?" He asked afterwards then took notice to Kusa's clothes or lack of. "Also why are you dressed like that?"
"Uhmm? Well you see it went kind of like this..." Kusa explained how he met Starrk and Lilynette and how his clothes got so messed up trying to get them to come with him after some walking he might have said something about Lilynette's hight which got them into an argument with Kusa walking off on his own. "...After trying to get back with them I got lost and just give up haha." He laughed nervously while rubbing the back of his head.
As for everyone else they all stared at Kusa like the idiot he was. "Oh come the fuck on Kusa! How hard is it to lose a group of people that easily especially when one of them happens to be a giant lizard thing!" Axel yelled at Kusa with a vein coming through his mask.
"HEY! If you haven't noticed this place looks exactly the same way from every direction you look in and goes on forever! Hell, I bet we're only going to running into them when we get back to Las Noches! If we're lucky!" Kusa yelled back at Axel and was very confident in his claim until four different sources of reiatsu appeared close to them. "..." Turing to his left Kusa saw his group coming over a sand dune.
"Hmm? Oh there he is." Orochi said to the others once she saw Kusa. "Hey! Kusa you dumbass! You had us worried about you!" Orochi called out to her master, waving madly at him along with Kumo then she looked at Uriel and Axel. "Looks like he caught up with Mr. Pretty face and his meat head brother and some other hollows broooo-*Sees Harribel* Ooooooohohohohohoooooo *starts drooling*" (She's back!)
"Orochi que está mal?" Kumo asked scared and hid behind Starrk.
"BOOOOOOOOOBS!" Orochi yelled to the full moon up above before shooting into the air right at Harribel planing to wrap her tail that body and do all manner of pervert things to it willingly or not.(Oh kinky nice) Sadly for Orochi Kusa caught her in mid-flight. " Awwwww! Kusanagi-sama! I just wanna have some her brown sugar that's all!" (I am sorry and I don't give a fuck)
"Stop. Please, just stop it." Kusa ordered sternly to his sword and flicked one of her ears rewarding him with a loud hiss from Orochi. "Oh come on now, I might let you fool around with Sigua when we get back ok?" He offered, moving Orochi around so that she was in his right arm.
"Aww, Kusa-kun is that all I'm to you? Just a way to control Orochi?" Sigua asked with big puppy dog eyes as she held onto Kusa's left arm. (Wait a sec O.O)
"What? No, I was joking about that don't worry I wouldn't let this perv get you." Kusa promised Sigua turning to her taking a long hard stare as she gave him a cute little smile. "...WHEN THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE!?" He screamed in next moment jumping back landing on his back, dropping Orochi on to his lap in the process.
"AH thank you Sigua-sama goddess let me repay in the only way I know, sexually!" Orochi cheered, free of Kusa hold and went directly after Sigua that is unless Kusa didn't garb her by the tail causing her to fall face first into the sand. "Kusanagi-sama, do you hate me?" She asked looking at Kusa annoyed by him stopping her twice already.
"No, I'm just afraid of things you would to people, so get back here." Kusa answered dryly while dragging Orochi back to his side and forced her to stay there. "*sigh* okay now that has been taken care of, Sigua did find anyone?"
"Yep he's over there!" Sigua cheered happily and pointed with both hands at Ulquiorra who was slowly coming into view with Kusa and Orochi sweatdropping at the sight of him. "Once I felt Kusa-kun's reiatsu I came running over here that's all but he's really strong right?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips
"Uhm, sure I can feel it." Kusa answered then look down at Orochi who had her cheeks puffed streaming with frustration thanks to Kusa. "Hey, I was wounder how exactly did guys find me out here anyway?"
"Oh? Well you should thank her for that one." Orochi answered, looking at Lilynette who was taking a few side glaces at Kusa. "I know that there aren't a lot of things out here that can actually kill you, so I didn't find anything wrong with you walking around aimlessly for a few days hehe." She started giggle to herself at the thought of Kusa dragging himself through the sands, getting her another flick on the ear. "Ow! I was joking Kusanagi-sama! Back to the story; So I wasn't that worried about finding you but she was pretty bossy about it Grrr. I don't know if she wanted to finish that fight you two had or she wanted to make you're ok, I wonder which?" Orochi cooed with her forked tongue twisting around in front of her.
"Keep that thing inside of your mouth would you." Kusa muttered to Orochi with her just shrugging her shoulder and obeyed. "Good, now behavior yourself please." He said after dropping her out of his hand and moved over to Lilynette leaning down to smile at her. "Thanks for finding me didn't think you'd care that much."
"I don't, I just thought it would look bad if we got to Las Noches with out the guy they sent to look people. That's all now get out of my face." Lilynette spit at Kusa, turning up her head and gave Kusa her back. "In fact I was hoping to find your dried up corpse somewhere in the sand."
"Good to know that you feel that way about me shorty, haha." Kusa said laughing causing Lilynette to wheel around striking with her right leg but at she hit was air and before she could even question it a hand patted her on the top of her mask from behind. "Nice try but one time is enough ok." Kusa teased her before letting go of Lilynette's head then clapped his hand to together. "Alright, I think that's everything taken care of let's get a move on shall." He declared, starting to walk off followed closely by Orochi.
"So he is the one that defeated you before? I must say he is not exactly what I thought he was." Harribel began speaking with Uriel while following Kusa.
"I feel the same way with each time that I look at him." Uriel said keeping his eye fixed on Kusa's back and clenched his fist.
"YO! Punk! Come help me carry these bitches!" Axel called out Kumo dropping Di Roy and Yylfordt like they trash bags lighten his load a bit. "So much fucking better."
"Si, pero quienes son?" Kumo asked lifting the two Axel had tossed on to his shoulder.
Axel pointed at Grimmjow who was walking with them. "They're that pussy cat's boys."
"Oh? Gatito you wanna be amigos?" Kumo asked turning to the panther hollow.
"Hah! I don't have time to be friends with some little kid so back off." Grimmjow growled at Kumo then quicken his pace. (Fuck you Grimmjow!)
"Aww!" Kumo hanged his head low after hearing that as he kept on walking with the rest of the group.
One week later Gates of Las Noches
"Ah, home sweet home." Kusa sighed looking up at one of the massive gates to the now the mostly competed fortress that was once an open field in the middle of nowhere ruled by Barrragan but now it all belongs to Aizen.
"That's way too big even for a fortress damn." Di Roy who along with the rest of Grimmjow's group had gotten back to they feet few days ago said in awe at the size of of the place when. "And you said that line three days ago when we first saw this places!"
"So much walking, ughhhhh!" Orochi groaned loudly before falling into Kusa's side completely lifeless. "Kusanagi-sama have mercy on your poor Zanpakuto!" She begged slowly wrapping her tail around Kusa's legs. "Please, carry me the rest of the way I...can't...go...o-on." She whimpered and fainted.
"Geez, I can't understand how you can be so annoying sometimes, come here." Kusa muttered, holding out his arm for Orochi and instantly she recovered from the ground and jumped into his arms wrapping her tail around Kusa's neck. "Hey take it easy I need air you know."
"Hey, idiot are you going to hurry up a open the door or not." Lilynette ordered at Kusa her voice sounding noticeably more irritated than usual to Starrk at least since he gave her an odd stare.
"Ever heard of a word called please? Shorty." Kusa shot back, watching as Lilynette glared up at him and also at Orochi for some reason. "Huh, that's new?"
"If you're jealous why don't you just say something about it?" Starrk lazily told his other half off but all that got him was a punch to the gut. "...Or not."
"Enough. The four of you are only wasting our time with your insufferable bickering." Uriel stated, walking between Kusa and Lilynette making them turn their eyes away from eachother and on to him but he ignored them both then placed his on the gate letting out some of his reiatsu which the gate absorbed into itself before slowly beginning to open up to a blue sky and a shinning sun that many hollows had never dreamed of seeing inside Hueco Mundo and to not much of a surprise the ones Kusa's group had recruited were in awe and struck.
"Welcome all of you to Las Noches, I hope that you all may come to think of as your home and I as your friend and leader." Came from Aizen standing confidently just behind the gate while showing off his flawless smile to the group. "I am most impressed by your group's result Kusanagi-kun this time around not that I have doubted you at anytime but please do not push yourselves just for me." He expressed his most heartfelt appreciation for the Kusa's hard work. "And with these new additions my Espada should be all but compete now thank you Kusanagi-kun."
"Oh Aizen, you're being too kind stop it." Kusa said with a goofy grin coming to his face. "But ah I think I'll take that offer for new clothes you gave me before we left if it's still open that is? Cause as you can see..." He paused to point at what was left of his Shihakushō. "I'm kind of due for a make over haha."
"Of course the offer still stands for you and I suppose you will be bringing those two along with you." Aizen said, looking at Starrk and Lilynette. "Quite the find might I add two naturally borne Arrancars with one being partially powerful." After saying that he placed his attention on the others. "Then I shall take care of these if you would allow me to."
"Yea, yea sure thing you don't need my permission for that my lord." Kusa did a small bow while speaking then turned to Starrk and Lilynette. "Alright you two mind following me and get out of those rags." Kusa said to the two Arrancars waving for them to following him as he started to make his way to one of the buildings in the distance.
"Kusa-kun WAIIIIT!" Sigua cried and tackled Kusa from behind knocking the both of them down and flew Orochi into the air. "I want new clothes too!"
"You didn't have to tack-Agk !" Kusa got hit in the face when Orochi came back down landing feet first. "Damn it, I think you broke my nose!" He groaned in pain while holding his nose while Orochi just laughed at him.
"Stop being a baby and lead the way already, dumbass!" Lilynette barked only to get kicked into the sand by Starrk from behind. "Hey!" When she got back up to yelled at Starrk he was following Kusa and the others who where already walking with out her. "HEY!" She roared stomping after them.
"Heh, quite a rowdy bunch are they not Uriel." Aizen said to the older Sebastian brother who was watching the group leaving as well.
"Indeed, it seems that through stupidity that they gain more power, how unsightly." Uriel scoffed, turning away from the group of idiots and set his eyes on Aizen. "Now then I do believe there is some business for you to take of care that does not require my presence, Axel and Kumo we are leaving for that fool's palace." He began to move pass Aizen along with Axel and Kumo.
"...Hmm if I may say so, you and Kusanagi-kun have surely done some excellent work in gathering Hollows worth being turned into Arrancars, maybe it is time I did the same for you and your companions?" Aizen asked with his back to Uriel as he was leaving causing the Vaste Lorde to stop and look back at Aizen. "I did promise you power beyond what you have currently or ever will have for that matter. You still wish to surpass Kusanagi by leaps and bounds correct?"
"..." Uriel remained silent for sometime keeping his gaze fixed on Aizen, he was trying to find any type of malevolence or faults but Aizen's facade was perfect hiding all signs of malice or malevolence from his face which was something Uriel found unsettling every time he looked at Aizen closely but putting that aside for now he turned completely around. "Indeed, you have yet to fulfill that promise you made at that time Aizen and if you are correct in your statement then I can see it being quite advantageous for myself." He said after finding the right words to use. "But what of you two?" He asked to Axel and Kumo.
"If what you two are talking about is getting even more badass? Then you know damn well that I'm game!" Axel answered, smashing his fist together.
"Si!" Kumo cheered happily mostly because he didn't really get what Aizen and Uriel were talking about but went along with Axel's answer without thinking.(Aww you big dumb idiot someone going to trick one day so hard)
Aizen smiled at they're answered. "Good to hear but let's not waste any more time shall we." He announced before leading them and the others towards the Arrancarification Chamber.
Some time later with Kusa
"...And done let's see how this looks on me?" Kusa asked himself turning towards a mirror inside a changing room. He was now wearing a typical Arrancar clothing which were a long white jacket, white hakama and the standard Arrancar foot wear, a purple sash was tied around his waist to hold Tiempo and the saya for Orochi. "Ok looking good Kusa." He smiled at his reflection until the tip of a purple tail rubbed up on his right shoulder going around his neck. "If you're trying to strangle me don't you think you should try it in my sleep?"
Turning around Kusa found Orochi staring up at him intently then at his clothes. "White doesn't look good on you." Was all she said, rubbing her chin a few times as if trying to think up some way of changing Kusa's look but shrugged soon after. "Meh, I don't really mind it much for now." She said letting her tail return to her side.
"Then why bring it in the first place?" Kusa asked but all Orochi did was roll her eyes at him. Kusa was about to say something about that when Starrk appeared freshly dressed in his Arrancar wear. "Hey, not bad Starrk."
"Hmm, just picked out whatever fit." Starrk muttered out lifelessly, hands deep inside his pockets as he walked up to Kusa. "So what now?"
"I'll show you guys around I guess, unless Aizen has something for me to do after he's done with the others." Kusa answered, scratching his head then pointed a thumb towards the door leading outside. "Come on, let's go see if the girls are done yet." He said already on the way out with Orochi not far behind, as soon as they did Kusa bumped into something small knocking whatever it was down. "Hmm? What was that?"
"Grrr! Watch where the hell you're going!" Came form Lilynette who was sitting on the floor half Kusa bumped into her but that didn't stop her from glaring daggers at Kusa while he looked down at her.
"What in the world are you wearing?" Kusa asked right back at her, seeing what she had on and looked away quick.
"Oh my sssssso daring I like." Orochi hissed out taking in Lilynette's appearance to the point that it scared her. "Don't you agree Kusa?" She teased rubbing up on Kusa's side.
"W-w-what are you talking about snake!" Kusa yelled out, picking Orochi off her feet to look her in eye but she had cheeky smile across her face that showed she wasn't afraid at all. "Wipe that look off your scaly face or I'll do it for you." He warned in a cold tone but Orochi just whipped her tongue at him.
"AWWWWW! No fair Lilynette throwing yourself at my Kusa-kun!" Sigua yelled out at Lilynette causing everyone to look her. She was now dressed in a short sleeved white jacket that had line of five black buttons going down the middle with top two ones undone to show off some of her cleavage(nice), a very short white skirt with black trim and a pair of knee high white boots, still attached to her back were her two swords hanging off to the right side. "The only one allow to seduce Kusa-kun is me!"
"And the main course has arrived oh baby come here with that booty hehe." Orochi giggle lustfully but was kept in place by Kusa holding on to her. "Aww Ku-"
"No." Kusa cut her off before she could say anything more and flicked one of her ears hard. "Now stop with that for the rest of the day." He ordered Orochi letting go of her then he looked back down at Lilynette making sure to keep his gaze on her face and nothing else.(but it's so hard not to) "Are you planing on sitting there all day, shorty?"
"Maybe someone should help me up for walking into me a moment ago." She answered, smirking at Kusa.
Kusa shrugged his shoulder and leaned down to offer his hand to her. "Whatever, sorry about that Lilynette." He apologized with a warm smile that made the petite Arrancar's face redden taking Kusa's hand. "Shit! Did she realized that I was starring at her pants? Think of something to say! Think of something to say!" He thought nervously but kept his cool while help Lilynette up. "Uhmm you look ah unique, yeah it suits you well." He blabbed out a little unsure of his words but a light smile from Lilynette put him to ease. "Yeesss! She brought it! I don't get a foot to the balls this time!" Kusa cheered in his mind. (Smooth)
"That's not all you're thinking about Kusanagi-sama eh?" Orochi said to Kusa throughtheir minds.
"Huh? What the hell are you talking you damn snake!" Kusa yelled out loudly causing everyone to look at him confused while Orochi was giggling on the sidelines. "...Uh so how about that tour?" He offered awkwardly while starting to walk off on his own. "Ugh, I wonder how Uriel is handling things on his side?"
With Uriel at the Arrancarification Chamber
The entire room was covered in a thick mist after Harribel was just turned to an Arrancar by Aizen, slowly getting up from the floor she looked at her new body, moving around a little then passed a hand to her face feeling what was left of her mask after she was done doing that her gaze fell on Aizen who standing in front of her along with the Hōgyoku inside a glass case. "I hope that you are feeling alright, Harribel?" He asked with his usually charismatic smile across his face.
"I am." Harribel answered, covering herself up as the mist around them was fading out to show Uriel, Axel and Kumo who was covering his eyes. They were standing on one the platforms in the room.
"Truly Magnificent." Uriel thought his gaze fixated on Harribel's from, analyzing each and everyone of her curves and edges finding more and more things to intrigue his interest in her all the more until she looked directly at him with a hint of shock in her eyes. "Ah my apologized Harribel, for my staring I hope that I did not cause you to feel any uneasiness." He said, lowing his gaze to his feet.
"Not at all, Uriel." Harribel told him making Uriel lift his he up and even through her mouth was covered she formed a smile for him.
"Hey, Bruto what's up with Su Hermano y señorita Harribel?" Kumo asked Axel after he took a peek from behind hands and wasn't sure what going on between them.
Axel looked at Uriel then at Harribel before moving closer to whisper to Kumo. "From the look they got in their eyes I'd say they want to bang eachother hard."
"Que? Why would they fight?" Kumo muttered out not knowing what Axel meant by 'bang eachother hard' at all other than fighting and had a finger under his chin while trying to think about it.
"*Sigh* I wonder why you're my best friend, punk." Axel groaned quietly to himself then started rubbing his hand over Kumo's spiky head.
"Hmm, since nothing appears to be wrong with your Arrancarification then please go through there to receive some clothing and reunite with your subordinates." Aizen said to Harribel after he had time to examine the flow of her reiastu making sure there were no abnormalities. Once Harribel left the room Aizen turned his attention towards Uriel and the rest. "By the way you were looking at Harribel I assume that you are impressed by the power of my Hōgyoku, Uriel?"
"Indeed it is quite the invention Aizen." Uriel answered, stepping off the platform he was standing on and walked up to Aizen with Axel and Kumo following behind. "But if you would like to...fill my curiosity I do wish to know how it works?" He asked, from what he was able to tell this thing was what Aizen has been using to force Hollows to become Arrancars and these were much more powerful than natural Arrancars somehow.
Aizen gave Uriel small smile at his question. "A desire for knowledge is a useful thing my dear Uriel." He started then move over to the side to show the Hōgyoku off. "In truth despite what this marvel can do currently it is still very far from completion but there is a way to bypass that..." He held his hand over the orb with his finger tips just a hair away from touching it. "...You see if someone who possesses reiryoku at least twice that of a normal captain were to allow the Hōgyoku to fuse with them then it's full power can unlocked for only a single moment but that is all the time needed for it finish it's task." Aizen admired the orb for a few more seconds his masterpiece the tool that will allow him to achieve anything he wanted.
"Hmm, reiryoku twice that of a captain you say? Would someone such as myself suffice that condition?" Uriel asked, noticing just more much Aizen was paying more attention to the Hōgyoku than anything else at the moment.
Aizen's calm face shifted into one of surprise for instant before returning his mask. "Hmm, Yes are corrected a Vasto lorde does posses more spiritual power than most captain, you in particular could in theory awaken the Hōgyoku to it's full power..." He answered then put on a small frown at the idea. "...But there is a risk for your entire soul getting dragged into it and being lost forever so I would much rather I take that chance if you would let me too." He offered, taking a firm stance on the topic almost as if he was pushing it.
Uriel took notice at the way Aizen was speaking finding it odd that he would suggest it. "Then that is chance I am willing to take, Aizen if it will give me more power." He said in respond to Aizen in using the Hōgyoku. "You once stated that you would gain my trust by giving me power but I must say if you want my trust then allowing me to do would give you my undying loyalty, Aizen-sama."
Aizen paused to think this over on one hand he ran the risk of Uriel finding out the true power of the Hōgyoku while on the other hand having Uriel's trust would make his plans run all the more smoothly but he still had his trump card if anything went wrong either way. "...If it would make us friends then I see no reason not to allow this." He agreed to Uriel suggestion waving a hand to the Hōgyoku. "Simply place your hand over it and release your reiatsu onto it while keeping your only thought on turning you and your companions into Arrancar or something unfortunate may befall you all, are you absolutely sure that you not rather I take care of this?"
"Oi, boss man once my bro gets his mind set on something he does it and there's one in the world that's gonna stop, him right bro!" Axel barked out get annoyed by the way Aizen was acting at his out burst Aizen unleashed his reiatsu on to them. "Ugh! Shit!" Both Axel and Kumo where put to their feet by the intense pressure that Aizen put on them as for Uriel he tried to stand tall but even his knees buckled under Aizen.
"Please remind your brother that he should remain silent at important times or someone might deal with him." Aizen stated, keeping his pressure at max while talking down to Uriel, his warm eyes turning into a menacing pair of brown colored orbs that dug into Uriel's soul.
"...Understood Aizen-sama, I will make sure that this does not happening in the future." Uriel obeyed unwillingly with each word coming out leaving a bitter taste in his mouth and lowed his head to Aizen.
"Good, now do as you wish..." Aizen said, lowing his reiatsu back to a normal levels allowing Uriel and co to stand up again. "...and I am sorry for my out burst earlier do not take it heart will you?"
"Not at all." Uriel answered reluctantly then held his hand over the Hōgyoku just as Aizne did a moment ago. "Axel, Kumo step closer the both of you." He ordered and they did as they were told moving in so that they were an arm's length away from the orb, each of them nodding to Uriel that they were ready with that Uriel brought out his reiatsu focusing all of it onto the Hōgyoku causing it to turn black then reach out to Uriel's finger tips resulting a blinding light to come forth. "With this I will gain the power needed to change this world." Uriel thought as he felt unyielding surge of power come over going all the to the core as with a locked door had just being opened for him to walk through that would lead to him gaining the ability to compete his dream.
But Uriel was not the only one who had this experience happen to him, both Axel and Kumo felt this with each of them having their own views on how they wanted to use this new power they were about to receive. Kumo's thought were only on how he would now be able to protect his brother like Kusa had did for him in the past more over he wanted Kusa to look at him as someone he could rely on instead of how it usually was. Axel's thoughts were also on his brother but his leaned more to helping Uriel achieve his goal and nothing would be able to get in their way for that he need to get stronger than all other Hollows.
All of these ambitious and passionate desires rang out from each of their souls and were absorbed into the Hōgyoku as it's light grew brighter and brighter until it suddenly shatter like a stone smashing into glass followed by a veil of mist with this the Hōgyoku had done it's task returning to it's sealed form what power it had granted on to these three Hollows and the way that they would use it were for them to decide. (This is such good a place to end but I promise new looks for all my Ocs dammit! T_T)
Back with Kusa inside a hallway
The group were currently making their towards the Arrancarification Chamber whichwas the next stop on Kusa's tour around Las Noches(Oh what lcuk). "Hmm?" Kusa stopped suddenly at the sight of someone coming out at the far end of the hallway. "Who's that?" He asked himself out loud noting that they're reiatsu felt familiar but very different at the same time not to mention powerful. Kusa was about to call out to whoever this was when they disappeared. "Sonido? Are they trying to get the ju-"
"Hola! Hermano!" Were yelled out as Kusa got knocked down by someone small slamming into his stomach and toppled over him with out giving him a chance to react.
"Otōto?" Kusa looked up to see Kumo but he wasn't a giant lizard thing anymore sitting on top of Kusa was a small male Arrancar around 11 or 12 who had light brown skin, short curvy black hair and a pair of playful looking sky blue eyes, he also had a thick yellow line starting at his bottom lip that ran down his neck and the remains of his mask was a set of three spiky scales on the left side of his head. He was dressed up in pretty much the same way as Kusa but his jacket was a with sizes to big for him because his hands were covered under the sleeves and he did have a sash tied around his waist like Kusa.
"SI!" Kumo cheered throwing his arms into the air with a massive smile across his face. "Hermano, did ya see how fast I can move now, chévere si?" He asked, jumping off Kusa and started using his sonido to dart around the hallway appearing in different spots in seconds until he slipped on the bottom part of his jacket and smacked into a wall then slide down leaving a impression of his face on the wall. "Estoy bien! haha!" He laughed after getting back up and dusted himself off with out scratch on him.
"Well, well look at you little guy, now Kusa can finally say that you're his little brother without it sounding too weird, Kumo huh." Orochi said, giving Kumo and a look over making circles around him. "Then again the only thing you two have that's similar are the eyes."
"Really? Realmente? I don't see it?" Both Kusa and Kumo said in unison at Orochi's remark making her face-palm at their stupidity.
"*Sigh* Never mind you guys are definitely brothers." Orochi groaned out while shaking her head at them.
"But Kumo were's your Zanpakutō?" Sigua asked, walking up to the younger Arrancar making him tilted his head to one side.
"Que?" Kumo wasn't sure what Sigua was asking him and he turned to Kusa for help.
"Huh? Come Kumo you know it's like my Tiempo here it should have appeared a little bit after you became a Arrancar, right?" Kusa told Kumo placing a hand over the handle for Tiempo moving it a bit forward for Kumo to see.
"Uhmm..." Kumo crossed his arms and closed to his eyes to think hard making the scales on his head spike up until he came to realization. "Oh I forget it with Bruto y Caballero." He said, rubbing the right side of his head with his jacket sleeves with his tongue sticking out.
"Yep, you're Kusa's brother alright exactly alike." Orochi stated in a deadpan doing the same as Kumo.
"Hey, what is that suppose to mean?" Kusa asked Orochi but she turned away from him. "Whatever, but speaking for Zanpakutō I've meaning to ask you two about that." He looked at Starrk and Lilynette who were silent for the most part.
"Well, like we said before we're both just two parts of the same Hollow and Lilynette happens to be the sealed form of that's Hollow's power." Starrk answered for the two of them putting a hand top of Lilynette's mask.
"Really now?" Kusa muttered curiosity taking a glace at Lilynette just as she was looking back up at him. "Someone just got bit more interesting now did she?" He smirked at her rewarding him if a glare. "Ok that might have sounded wired and why did I smile?"
"Stay away creep." Lilynette spat at Kusa making him flick a little.
"Hey, I meant it as you're more than just some little kid ok." Kusa tried, correcting his last statement but that didn't stop Lilynette from glaring at him and now Orochi and Starrk of all people were giving him wired looks. "Ugh, lets just forget about that for now, Kumo what about Axel and Sebastian?"
"Oi! You little shit for brains punk where the hell are you! You forgot your FUCKING TOY!" Axel's voice echoed through out the hallway as he came around the corner. He was now a tall muscular young man with blonde hair that was slicked back stopping at his neck and bright red eyes that were set in an angry glare from walking around looking for Kumo, over his chin was the mouth piece of his mask . Unlike Kumo and Kusa he had his Arrancar jacket tired around his waist and wore a from fitting white vest that was unzipped half way to show off his thick chest and his hollow on the right side, held over his right shoulder was a large war hammer that had spike on the back of hammer head which also had a green green gem embedded into it. "There you fucking are catch!" He tossed something in his left hand into the air for.
Kumo jumped up and caught it then landed back down now holding a black buckler with white spikes running around it's the side. "Gracias Bruto! For returning Mi lagarto armadillo." He thanked Axel for returning his Zanpakutō to him pushing back his left sleeves and attached it to his arm so that he wouldn't forget again.
"Tch, you should be happy that I didn't break it by mistake with my new guns." Axel flexed his muscles to show off his impressive physique to all but no one really care about it. "And check out my Tierra!" He swung the war hammer over his head as he did Axel allowed some of his reiatsu flow through Tierra covering the head in green crystals that added to it's mass.
"Meh, why did the loud mouth one have to come out first." Orochi muttered with a bored tone not that impressed with Axel's new from if anything she thought he looked the same.
"ARE YOU SAYING THAT I ONLY TALK BIG! PRVEY SNAKE!" Axel yelled at the top of his lungs making it clean that what Orochi said was true about him.
"Brother, please save that rage and fury for our foes not our allies." Uriel said to Axel as he walked out from behind Axel. Uriel was now a very handsome not more like down right beautiful man as if he was a prince who was pulled out of a fairy tale, having long flowing blonde hair above his immaculate crimson eyes was the visor from his hollow mask. He wore an elegant long white rode that went down to cover his feet and had a high collar. He had a silver necklace with a white ornate cross as a pendant. "Now then let us begin..." He said as his visor moved down over his eyes before using Sonido to move forward.
"Right to it huh?" Kusa smiled once Uriel moved holding out his right in time to catch Orochi who had changed back to her sword form without a word and as soon as he caught her he swung out behind him stopping just at Uriel's neck. "Looks like you got a pretty big boost eh Sabastain?" Kusa kept the edge of his sword close to Uriel and wasn't going to lower it for a second because hovering around him were four of Uriel's Estrellas each one ready to drive themselves through Kusa and they all let out a burning heat that made him sweat.
"...Indeed I have Tsurugi if you were but a moment too slow then my victory against you would not have any worth to me." Uriel stated to Kusa and pushed up his visor to show that he had a fire in them that he used to send a blazing gaze into Kusa cool blue eyes with this alone they each understood that it would only take the other making the smallest of openings to act on. "It is a good thing for you that I wish to gain a better understanding of my power in order to show how wrong you were for not killing me that day."
"Hah, sound like you're afraid you might get beaten again." Kusa shot back at Uriel keeping their stand still on for a few more seconds before he lowed Orochi and Uriel dispelled his Estrellas. "But mind asking me to fight first?"
"*hmhp* As you wish." Uriel agreed, returning his visor back over his eyes. "Axel, I leave you to your own devices I wish to have sometime on my own to learn the full power of my Lucero." He told Axel passing a hand over the cross he was wearing.
"Sure thing bro, besides me and that little shit got some training to catch up on right? Punk?" Axel nodded over to Uriel then grinned at Kumo, tightening the hold on his maul.
"Hah, bruta es idiota!" Kumo laughed at Axel, taunting him over by waving Axel over with his buckler.
"It is good to see you two already thinking about getting stronger a magical sight indeed." Uriel stated with a small smile coming to his face as he walked passed Kusa. "Be careful around Aizen, Kusanage. Whatever his plans are much greater than what they seem to be." He whispered to Kusa with out looking at him.
Kusa wheeled around to look at Uriel surprised by his words and the fact this was the first time he heard Uriel say his first name. "Heh, I will and thanks for the advice, Uriel." He said causing Uriel to stop and give him a back glace eyes hidden behind his visor but Kusa was sure that they were wide in shocked or at the very least annoyed. "Alright, so how about we finish that tour I promised earlier." Kusa declared turning around to Starrk and Lilynette just as Uriel turned to keep on walking. "We better get on that since this place huge might take a day to get through everything, haha."
Chapter End
Annnnnnnd done yep just under 8210 words yessssss! Hope you all liked it and maybe drop a review huh? Huh? come on be a good person or bad one who's going to ripe me apart with words I'm adult I take it! (no I can't) but still saying what you like, dislike and what I need to improve on does help in me becoming a better writer which is why I'm writing fanfiction (Whao that got real)
Now if you want yo can read the rest of this stuff I'm trying stuff out here if not then farewell my lovely reads and see you soon in the next one.
Random shit Section or maybe Q&A if you ask me stuff about the story and nothing else just trying to be interesting for you boys, girls, traps and is that tentacle? whatever. Ok start!
Kumo's lagarto armadillo means armadillo lizard and I picked it cause that's what he look likes and it's buckler because I can't see Kumo using anything else but a shield with the way his powers and I didn't want him carrying tower shield.
Axel's Tierra means earth since if you haven't noticed he names all of his attacks after land formation and I was going to give a big battle axe but went with a war hammer instead.
Uriel's Lucero is a bit more interesting than the other two since it can meaning star, bright star, morning/evening star or the reason why I picked Venus since it's seen as earth twin hence it matches with Axel's Tierra and if sounds like Lucifer which is what I was trying to named it at first before but couldn't find anything better than Lucero and it's not really a cross btws.
Sigua's is secret for now so keep coming back.
Random shit section end bye my lovely readers see you in the next one
