Sosuke Aizen sat in the throne room of Las Noches with his elbow resting on the armrest and his cheek resting on the tops of his finger. To anyone watching him, it was a look of pure boredom. However, if one were to study his face, they would not find a bored expression adorning it, but rather his usual deceptively kind and caring smile. If one believed he was bored, they'd come to the conclusion that he hid it well. That was just the sort of man Aizen was after all. He was good at hiding his emotions and very rarely lost his composure and even when he did, he somehow managed to regain it so quickly, one would easily miss it or if they did manage to notice something, come to the belief that they imagined it.
In any case, Aizen was not bored. In fact, he was awaiting the arrival of Gin Ichimaru, one of two of his fellow treacherous captains and while he was awaiting Gin's arrival, he was busy formulating his future plans in his head and coming up with many contingencies. Aizen was someone who liked to prolong things and draw them out for as long as possible. Even with situations in which he could just deal with swiftly and quickly, he seemed to draw out; as he believed that a quick solution would be boring. It also seemed that he not only prepared for unknown factors that could possibly hinder his plans, but he seemed to encourage them as if to see how else he could go about whatever it was he was planning. To him, everything was one big game… a game of chess and Aizen welcomed unpredictability as it enabled him to go over his opponents' possible options and formulate possible counter-strategies.
"Captain Aizen," a voice came, bringing him out of his thoughts and causing him to glance up.
There in front of him stood Gin Ichimaru, his right hand man and the man who willingly played the decoy during Rukia's execution, leading those who were suspicious to believe that he was the one behind it as Aizen knew the crimes Rukia had committed were not capital offences and the execution method was over-the-top. Aizen knew that some of his former colleagues would have become suspicious about the execution and had Gin lead everyone to believe that he was the mastermind and Aizen himself, made it seem like he was on to him in a carefully scripted conversation to fool anyone who happened to be overhearing them and then had everyone believe that he had been assassinated and Ichimaru leading many to believe he was the culprit with his obviously suspicious behaviour.
Needless to say, it worked; at least as far as Squad Ten Captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya was concerned and his former lieutenant, Momo Hinamori when she first discovered his "dead body". Gin, unlike Aizen himself was a man who had a sinister air about him. With short silverfish hair, his eyes mostly closed and a sinister looking grin that seemed to permanently frame his face, Gin was the perfect decoy. Out of the three treacherous captains, Gin was one that could easily be named right of the bat as a traitor. It anything foul or sinister happened within the Seireitei, everyone would have probably looked to Gin at the culprit just as soon as they learned about it before an investigation could come close to getting underway because of his grin. His voice also added to Gin's sinister outlook. Whenever he spoke, his voice was always polite, but the sinisterly dangerous undertone was quite evident. In fact, one might suggest that it bordered the realm of insanity. Aizen knew that Gin had sometimes started pointless conversations with Rukia's brother-in-law, Byakuya whenever she happened to be in his company to intentionally unnerve her as he knew that Rukia had been intimidated by his voice.
"I believe you wanted to see me," Gin stated, bringing Aizen back to reality with his usual sinisterly polite tone.
"Yes, it regards our other guest, how is she?" Aizen asked in a gentle, yet somewhat uncaring voice.
"Oh her; the immortal girl we acquired in that other world," Gin said, his voice not wavering for an instant, "I sent Stark to check up on her just as you ordered before you left with Ulquiorra to that very same world."
"And, what's her condition?" Aizen asked, though from his tone, it was easy to deduce that he already knew the answer.
"Same as ever," Gin replied with a shrug, "But then again, what can one expect from an immortal?"
"And Stark did check to see if the door was closed properly didn't he?" Aizen asked as his smile took on a slightly sinister edge, "You know how lazy he is when left to his own devices."
Gin nodded, knowing exactly what Aizen meant. Stark was the Primera Espada, but he was also quite lazy and would not do anything unless Aizen told him to and even then, he wasn't that enthusiastic about it.
"I'm afraid I can't be sure," Gin admitted in a tone that suggested that he didn't particularly care.
Aizen just nodded, just as uncaring as Gin himself was.
"It doesn't matter in any case," he said in a dismissive tone as he waved it off, "I always knew that that girl still had some use to me and even if she does manage to escape Las Noches, there's no where for her to go except back here."
"Of course Captain Aizen," Gin said as his grin widened as he already knew what Aizen had planned for the girl.
Ichigo Kurosaki was currently in a grave predicament as Nel and G.G., the girl that he and the others had come across at the crossroad looked on in fear. His, opponent, an Arrancar by the name of Dordonii who said he was the 103rd Arrancar; a Privaron Espada was literally dancing circles round him. He currently was lying in a hole in the ground caused when Dordonii kicked him into the ground. They were currently in a circular room with green high-rise walls with thin red stripes outcropping all round.
"Is that all you've got niño?" Dordonii asked in a taunting tone with a rather deep Spanish accented voice before he started laughing.
Nel looked on from a hole in the wall that Dordonii had created when he sent Ichigo flying with one of his kicks that caused them to end up in the room.
"Ichigo's going to… going to die," she whispered to herself as she looked on in fear and worry, unable to believe that Ichigo was losing as tears started to build up in the bottom of her eyes.
G.G. however, had basically jumped into the room after Ichigo after Dordonii used him to create the hole. She honestly had a hard time believing what was happening just as much as Nel was. Of course, she knew that Ichigo had more power, but unfortunately he was too stubborn to use it, believing that he had to conserve his energy for the Espada, whom G.G. had learned were the strongest of Aizen's demonic subordinates. This Privaron had once been an Espada, but had obviously been demoted for some reason… probably because of the arrival of stronger Arrancar, G.G. figured.
Recounting what happened after meeting up with Ichigo and his group, G.G. remembered Ichigo finally suggesting that she stick with them after his friend, Uryu highlighted how hopeless her escape attempt was and how poorly planned out she had everything. Surprisingly enough, no one objected to this and were in perfect agreement that she should stick with them. She had expected some objections, especially from that red-haired guy whom she had come to know as Renji or that midget woman, Rukia who she believed could possibly see her as competition if she had feelings for one of the four guys in the group. However, neither Renji nor Rukia objected and just agreed to it, though G.G. knew that there was nothing else they could do and leaving her to fend for herself would undoubtably come back to plaque their consciences later if they had and besides, another reason she figured why they agreed was possibly because they didn't want to waste time arguing. It was clear that they were only here to rescue their friend and didn't want to spend any longer in this dimension than they had to.
As for G.G. herself, she didn't disagree either. After all, with no game plan on what she was going to do, she deduced the best option was to stick with these people, at least until they completed self-appointed mission and escaped. They were clearly enemies of Aizen's and she believed that they could all benefit from one another in their quest to stop him. G.G. felt that if she scratched their backs, then they would scratch hers, especially this orange haired boy, whom she took an interest in. It was not a romantic interest or anything like it. For someone like her, such relationships were destined to end in heartache and despair. No, she sensed something about Ichigo; something powerful and could possibly be the key to Aizen's destruction.
That's why when Rukia suggested that the group split up, she had followed Ichigo. If Rukia had feelings for Ichigo, then she did a damn good job at hiding them since G.G. remembered that she had waved her off when she had openly announced that she was following Ichigo. She honestly didn't believe in love at first sight and she knew that if she did fall in love with Ichigo, it would eventually result in her falling into despair as he would grow old and die while she remained young and beautiful, never aging and unable to die. No, she was not a girl who would not fall in love with anyone. She was interested in Ichigo's power and she could sense that it was great… far greater than any power she had felt in her own world.
"Could he possibly…?" she thought in wonder as she witnessed him stare up at Dordonii with a look of sheer determination in his eyes, "It seems too farfetched to be true, but I guess it's possible."
As Ichigo continued his struggle against the powerful Arrancar, G.G. continued to recount what had happened up until now. After she went with Ichigo, she soon became aware of the Arrancar that looked as if she were a toddler following them; mostly because of her screams of "Ichigo!". Unlike the Arrancar she had met before, this one seemed to be missing a weapon that the others carried and the remains of her mask, which was mostly in tact looked more like someone's poor attempt at drawing a human skull and she certainly didn't have the same barbaric nature as the others. It intrigued her to no end how different this Arrancar was from the others she had met. She had discovered from Ichigo that her name was Nel Tu and that she had been following them since this sand like Hollow, Lunuganga saw them together in the desert. Now Nel and her friends, whom G.G. guessed had gone down different paths were fearful for their lives as they believed they were now branded as traitors. Nel had said that even if Aizen forgave them, his top ranked subordinates, the Espada would not follow suit.
"Poor thing," G.G. thought, giving Nel a sympathetic glance.
All in all, she figured that Nel was alright; a tad annoying, but okay. She was at least smart enough to stay hidden in the hole that Dordonii created using Ichigo as his demolition tool. However, she didn't know how long that would last. Ichigo was losing, though G.G. knew that he was holding back because, as Ichigo himself had stated, he would not show his bankai to anyone other than the Espada and since Dordonii was no longer an Espada, as he had been one in the past, in Ichigo's eyes, he didn't count. G.G. saw that Nel was becoming more and more worried as Ichigo received more and more damage and she knew that if Ichigo continued to be stubborn, Nel could just jump in between them to try and save his life and would probably end up getting herself killed.
G.G. knew that if she herself got between them, then she would automatically be revived, but unfortunately, Nel didn't have that luxury and despite being an Arrancar, G.G. could see that she had nothing to do with Aizen's plans and even if she did in the past, it was clear that he had lost interest in her for whatever reason and if what Ichigo had said was correct, then Aizen probably saw Nel as a traitor for her association with his enemies. She knew that Ichigo had to stop being stubborn and use his bankai otherwise, Nel could possibly jump in between them and get caught in the crossfire or; even more serious, Dordonii would eventually lose his patience and kill Ichigo without seeing his bankai.
It was clear to G.G. that Dordonii was also holding back as he wanted to see Ichigo's bankai, no doubt to defeat him when he was at full strength and prove that he was the stronger fighter. However, for now, he refrained from killing Ichigo, but G.G. knew that eventually, Dordonii would succumb to his growing impatience and proceed to kill him anyway. His impatience was as already clearly evident as it was.
"Just show him this bankai thingy of yours!" she called out to Ichigo with concern and annoyance mixed in with his voice, "It's clear that you're no match for him in your current state!"
However, Ichigo either didn't hear her or chose to ignore her as he lunged at Dordonii for another attack that inevitably resulted in him getting beaten back.
"Idiot," G.G. fumed furiously, before her face expression became one of fearful concern, "However, if he needs this bankai of his to defeat this obsolete Espada, then he probably stands no chance against the current Espada."
Since meeting Ichigo, G.G. had learned a lot from him; such as the white-masked demons were called Hollows and that they were once people who had died and whose souls had remained in the World of the Living for too long and they had lost themselves to madness and despair, leaving a void in their hearts and that they sought to devour the souls of the living and dead alike in an attempt to fill this void.
She also learned about Menos, which were Hollows that were formed by hundreds of Hollows fused together and that they had three evolutionary stages; Gillians, Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde and she also learned from Ichigo that most of the Arrancar; Hollows that had gained abilities similar to Soul Reapers, the Hollows' mortal enemies under Aizen's command were Menos and that he was planning on gathering Vasto Lorde class Menos. Ichigo had told her that what Aizen had planned for them was a mystery, but if he had ten or more under his command, the Soul Society, which was the afterlife dimension for Ichigo's world would be doomed as each individual Vasto Lorde was believed to more powerful that the average Soul Reaper Captain.
"If that's true and these Vasto Lorde are even stronger than a Captain as Hollows, then I shudder to think what they'd be capable of as Arrancar," she thought to herself as she shuddered in fear, "Ten Vasto Lorde and ten Espada. Aizen must be planning on amassing an Espada group consisting only those Arrancar born from Vasto Lorde class Menos."
That was a terrifying thought. If Vasto Lorde were stronger than Soul Reaper Captains as Hollows, then as Arrancar, they'd probably be considered unbeatable and to make matters worse, Aizen had acquired a means to create Arrancar artificially by way of a device known as the Hogyoku, which he acquired when he openly announced his betrayal to his people and which Rukia's execution was centred round.
As Ichigo had told her, Arrancar could come about naturally, but in most cases, the change was incomplete and very few managed complete changes that the Arrancar evolution stage was considered at a certain stage. However, with the Hogyoku, Aizen was able to create fully-developed Arrancar with powers far greater than that of naturally created Arrancar; even those few Hollows who were lucky to make a complete change naturally and with that in mind, along with the rumoured strength of the Vasto Lorde proved to be a frightening concept… Arrancar born from Vasto Lorde class Menos being artificially created by Aizen and the Hogyoku and having power that a natural transformation would not have granted them proved pretty terrifying. Whatever Aizen was planning, G.G. knew that he felt that he needed an unstoppable army to accomplish his goals.
"If he succeeds in amassing those Vasto Lorde then I fear that nothing will be able to stop him," she thought with a shudder.
It was during Ichigo's fight with Dordonii that she discovered what the Arrancars' weapons were for. Ichigo had explained about Soul Reapers and their zanpakutos. As Hollows who had acquired the abilities of Soul Reapers, Arrancar had zanpakuto of their own and like Soul Reaper zanpakutos, they had their own names and release commands. Only, with Arrancar, their zanpakutos acted more like containers; containing the lion's share of their power as well as the powers they once had as Hollows before becoming Arrancar. Dordonii had released his zanpakuto in a bid to force Ichigo to use his bankai. His zanpakuto was called Giralda and its release command was, "Whirl".
Dordonii himself had shoulder-length black hair with two stands at the top shaped like curved horns and a regular shape of dark blue eyes. He also had a small thin moustache and a small pointy beard His eyebrows and moustache had vertical slits where skin was visible near the area between his eyes. His beard started at the bottom of his chin just below the sides of his lips and made a curve as it came to the front on both sides, coming to a point in the centre that pointed upwards with the tip with the tip at the top of his chin beneath his lips. It also pointed away from him in a diagonal angle. All in all, to G.G. he looked a bit like a stereotypical devil.
The remains of his mask sat on his forehead, shaped like a visor. He wore the usual sandal and black tabi along with white trousers, a white coat with fringes on the sleeves near the ends and three black long vertical ovals at the front and with Dordonii's muscular torso, if not for the colour, it would have appeared as if the coat was about to tear apart, having not being big enough for Dordonii. Hr also had a red belt tied round his waist and underneath the belt, the coat started to move apart from the centre. It also seemed that he had some sort of padding underneath his coat that adorned his shoulders.
Once he released his zanpakuto, G.G. had noticed some changes. He hadn't changed that much, but the changes were clearly evident. The remains of his mask seemed to get larger, nearly covering his eyebrows and looking closely, she noticed two slit like gaps that appeared to be eye holes. The ends of his mask remains also became pointed at the top and ran down the sides of his head in front of his ears, covering the sideburns and then curving towards the front and it also seemed to grow a small arrow like part that moved downwards between his eyes to just at the top of his nose. Also two white pointed rock like outcrop had grown on top of his shoulder where the "padding" had been. However, the most highlighting change was that his trousers had appeared to harden and become armour like with three spirals on his upper legs with black vertical ovals highlighting his knees and the bottom of his trousers seemed to fan out and looked quite hardened. However, at each outer side near the bottom of his trouser were slightly diagonal circular outcrops that appeared to be like volcanic vents, only they shot out air instead of sulphur and Dordonii was able to manipulate the air in such a way that it created mini tornadoes that allowed him to hover in the air The air shot out at the diagonal angle of the "vents" before becoming vertical, spiralling both upwards and downwards creating a tornado.
However, what had shocked G.G. was each tornado seemed to sprout a snake like appendix with white bird like becks at the ends and it was those that Dordonii was using to fight Ichigo. Dordonii was able to control the tornado snake like birds with his kicks and Ichigo was on the losing end.
"Ichigo!" Nel's frightened and worried voice came, bringing G.G. out of her thoughts and back to reality, "Ichigo, this is bad. If you don't do something, you're gonna die. Ichigo! Ichigo!"
G.G. looked at where Ichigo had been smashed into a wall to find the two becks of the tornado like snakes holding Ichigo in their mouths by his shoulders. As the smoke from the impact started to clear.
"Ha, look, knowing how upset little el bebé and it's all your fault," Dordonii stated, holding his hand up towards Ichigo in a mockingly friendly gesture, "Come on niño, it's time to use your bankai."
Ichigo just groaned as he brought his zanpakuto in front of him and, grasping the handle with both hands, pointing it forwards, signalling that it was the power-up stance for his bankai.
"Ah," Dordonii said, excitedly with a proud smile on his face as he felt that Ichigo was going to use his bankai.
However, Ichigo blurred for a brief moment and then vanished, causing Dordonii's eyes to widen in surprise. However, before he could react, Ichigo reappeared in front of him and brought his zanpakuto down, but Dordonii easily blocked the attempted slash with his bare arm. However, that didn't deter Ichigo.
"Getsuga!" he stated with an infuriated look in his eyes.
"I already told you, DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME NIÑO!" Dordonii shouted in an annoyed and aggravated tone as he pushed forward and slammed his shoulder into Ichigo's face, sending him flying backwards.
"Bastard!" Ichigo cursed as he went flying as he glared back at Dordonii.
Dordonii himself held up his arms in front of him in a strange pose.
"Naughty boys that don't listen," he stated, bringing his arms up at his sides before moving them in a strange pattern so fast that Ichigo couldn't tell what the pattern was, "Will be punished."
He them brought his pink and index fingers together, making the touch one another at the ends and curled his thumb, middle and ring fingers on both hands into his palms and had the pinkies at the top and the indexes at the bottom.
Ichigo's eyes widened as he noticed a familiar red orb starting to form in the gap that Dordonii had created by curving his middle and ring fingers.
"Cero!" he stated before the orb shot at Ichigo in the form of a beam, making a distorted whoosh sound as it travelled on its path.
Ichigo gasped as he saw the oncoming attack and shut his eyes.
"NO! HE MUSTN'T DIE!" he heard G.G. scream.
He then gritted his teeth together and clenched his eyes shut as he prepared to be vaporised by Dordonii's oncoming Cero. However, after a while, he noticed that he wasn't in pain and that the energy from the Cero was tearing away at his flesh, he very cautiously and slowly opened his eyes as he come still see the red glow of the Cero as well as feel its heat. To his astonishment and disbelief, he saw Nel standing in front of him with her back to him and she seemed to be somehow blocking the Cero from moving past her.
"What did she do… to my Cero?" Dordonii asked with a look of utter disbelief on his face.
G.G. studied the scene carefully and noticed that Nel had her mouth open and that the energy from Dordonii's attack appeared to be travelling into Nel's mouth.
"You've gotta be kiddin' me," she said with just as much disbelief in her tone as Dordonii had in his, "How's she doin' that?"
After a while, all the red energy from the Cero had entered Nel's mouth, causing Dordonii to throw a fit.
"Gah, SHE SWALLOWED IT!" he screamed as he slapped his cheeks with his hands and fury became evident in his tone; fury that some little kid had managed to survive his most powerful attack.
G.G. honestly could not say she blamed him. After all, if she had been shown up by a child, she'd probably feel infuriated at having her pride damage.
"What the hell… you just… are you gonna be alright Nel…?" Ichigo asked as Nel held her hands over her mouth as if trying to prevent herself from vomiting with smoke coming out at either side of her mouth.
"Oh my, I think she may have overdone it," G.G. said, looking at Nel with concern evident on her face, fearing that Nel's insides were being vaporised.
However, eventually Nel opened her mouth in the same manner as someone who had been holding their breath to their limit would and the red energy of Dordonii's Cero shot out right back at him, catching him by surprise and enveloping him before he could react and causing a huge explosion.
"Wow, pinch me, I must be dreaming," G.G. said, still in disbelief.
"Listen you," Nel said as she panted for breath, clearly exhausted, "Don't you be mean… pant… to Ichigo again… pant…"
As the smoke started to clear, G.G. could just manage to make out Dordonii's shadowy silhouette in the smoke and from the looks of it, he was unhurt and ready to attack. However, G.G. noticed that instead of going after Ichigo again, he had turned his attention to Nel and immediately, she made a lunging dive towards Nel, pushing her aside, just as a small red orb shot out of the smoke and slammed into G.G.'s stomach before passing straight through, causing her to cough up blood. It felt like someone had just punched her in the gut with a metal glove.
"Ichigo… Kurosaki…" she whispered as she fell to the ground.
For Ichigo, time seemed to slow down as he watched G.G. fall to the ground, apparently dead.
"No…!" he said, his tone one of shock and horror with a stunned look on his face, "G.G., G.G. why did you…? G.G.!"
As the smoke cleared, Ichigo caught sight of Dordonii's left hand that was surrounded by white sparks and he suddenly felt raw passionate fury starting to bubble up inside him.
"You killed her," he growled in a low dangerous tone with murderous intent in his eyes.
He just could not believe this. He and his friends had just met a potentially new ally in their battle against Aizen, only for her to meet her end a short time later. Ichigo did not know what to feel at the moment. He had just met G.G. a short time ago and now she was dead, having sacrificed herself to save Nel from Dordonii's sneak attack. He could not honestly say that he had developed feelings for the mysterious girl, but it did not mean that he wanted to see her die. Quite the opposite in fact; Ichigo had been hoping to get G.G. to open up about her secrets and past since he was curious to know what it was that caused her own people to turn on her. Now, it seemed as if the answers would be forever lost to him, having died with G.G..
"You bastard," he went on, his voice dripping venom, "You killed her."
"Really, have I now?" Dordonii's voice came in a really cold and uncaring tone as the smoke cleared completely, "I honestly didn't expect her to take the hit. I was aiming for that little bebé there niño."
With the smoke cleared, Ichigo could see Dordonii properly and he was pointing at Nel, obviously emphasising his statement. As it turned out, Dordonii wasn't as unscathed from Nel's attack as his silhouette had led Ichigo and G.G. to believe. The entire left side of his mask remnants had been vaporising and his exposed forehead was splattered with blood.
"I have to say babe, you are most impressive," he went on, causing Ichigo's rage to rise at how he blew off G.G.'s demise as if it never happened as he turned his attention to Nel once again, "I never expected anyone to be able to deflect my Cero while in my released form. However, unruly children need to know their place."
"NO!" came G.G.'s voice, causing both Ichigo and Dordonii to direct their attention towards her body, which was fortunate for Nel as Dordonii was about to go on the offensive.
However, G.G. turned out to be alive, though there was still a hole in her stomach where Dordonii's Bala had connected. She was currently lunging towards Ichigo, catching him by surprise. She grabbed his hand, taking his in hers and Ichigo noticed the mark on her lift arm glow before he suddenly felt like he was falling into a dark abyss. He noticed the area beneath him to the sides suddenly light up in a green colour and shaped like the schematics for a computer's circuit board. He also noticed blue streaks of energy emerging from his body as blue as lightning.
"What the…?" he asked himself in confusion, "What's happening?"
"I can see that you clearly don't want to resort to using your full power to end this fight," G.G.'s voice came, seemingly from all directions and it boomed in his head.
"G.G.?" he said in confusion as he suddenly felt himself moving towards a really dark blue background, but with multi-coloured lines streaking out all around him as if highlighting his path and at the same time, he remained stationary against a white background and having lost his colours, he now looked as if he were a drawing against white paper and he also disappeared and reappeared short distances away so quickly it was as if there was more than one of him.
"It seems that you have a reason to live," G.G.'s voice continued to boom.
"G.G., but she was killed; this is impossible," Ichigo muttered to himself, still not sure what to make of this.
"I can grant you a power that could enable you to defeat your opponent without using your full strength," G.G. went on and then Ichigo saw her in front of him, only she was devoid of colour against a white background as if she were a drawing and she disappeared and reappeared a short distance away and then disappeared again before reappearing again in a new, but not far location .
This happened so quickly that to Ichigo, it was as if there was more than one of her.
"If I give you this power, could you possibly continue onwards?" she went on, either completely oblivious to or choosing to ignore Ichigo's confusion, "However, in exchange for this power, you must agree to make my one wish come true. You can choose not to accept this contract, but if you do, you'll accept its terms and conditions. While you are living in the world of humans, you will live unlike any other; a different providence, a different time, a different life. Though I must point out that this power may be able to help you in your currently situation. There's no guarantee that it will. Each Geass is different from person to person. I don't know what yours will be."
Suddenly Ichigo's sight was bombarded with a series of images; some of outer space looking at galaxies or planets and others of people dressed like stereotypical British Victorian aristocrats all with disgusted looks on there faces as they glared ahead of them as if the very presence of whatever they were glaring at was a crime against humanity itself.
"You are no longer my daughter you disgusting little witch," a man's cold, heartless voice boomed as Ichigo saw the image of a man sitting on a throne shrouded in shadow as he glared downwards at whomever he was speaking to, "I hereby renounce your title and your claim to the throne and disinherit you from this family. Now get out of my sight before I have you beheaded you repulsive little whore."
"The power of the kings will condemn you to a life of solitude," G.G.'s voice spoke, apparently not caring about the images that Ichigo was seeing, "Are you prepared for this Ichigo Kurosaki, are you prepared to sacrifice certain luxuries in exchange for this power?"
Ichigo then saw what looked like a whole galaxy coming towards him and then he saw someone standing with their back to him watching a beautiful sunset. The man had short dark brown hair and wore what Ichigo recognised as a white haori with the familiar diamond insignia of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads with the kanji for the number, five within the diamond. It was then that Ichigo recognised who this was.
"Aizen!" he growled, practically spitting venom and hatred as he said the name of the man who he had come to hate the most.
He remembered Aizen priority to his departure to Hueco Mundo having rectangular framed glasses and gentle hair before he discarded the glasses and swept his hair back. That Aizen had looked somewhat nerdish and rather harmless. Even a genius investigator could probably be fooled into believing that Aizen was completely harmless being all sweetness and smiles. He definitely did a could job at fooling all his former colleagues for a very long time.
"I must thank you for giving me this wondrous power my dear," Aizen spoke in a kind, somewhat thankful tone that seemed genuinely generous, but Ichigo cringed at the tone as he remembered G.G. saying that Aizen had forced her to give him power.
At the time, no one seemed to notice that comment, probably since they believed that they had more pressing issues to attend to. However, Ichigo was now coming to understand what she had meant. Obviously, Aizen had gained some power similar to what G.G. was offering him, only in Aizen's case, he forced it out of her.
"What are you talking about?" G.G.'s voice came sounding absolutely furious and dripping with venom, "You never gave me much of a choice you cold heartless monster."
"Too true," Aizen admitted in an uncaring tone as he turned around so that he was facing Ichigo, "Now normally, I'd dispose of you since your usefulness to me is at an end, but since killing you is impossible for the moment, I dare say that you could prove useful to me again someday."
"Monster!" G.G. spat as Ichigo, though he could not see her, could feel her glare directed at Aizen.
Ichigo also glared at Aizen, finally understanding what it was that Aizen had forced G.G. to give her. It was then that he noticed a faint red glow in Aizen's left eye. Curious, Ichigo took a closer look and his eyes widened in shock when he recognised the shape of the red glow in Aizen's eye as the same mark GG. Had on her left arm.
"Now do you see?" G.G.'s voice boomed again as the image faded from view, "Do you see what I was forced to give that monster? Like I said before. Each individual Geass is different from person to person, so like I said, I'm unsure if it'll help out in your current situation. As for my wish, I only ask that you bring that demon down and put an end to his ambitions."
Ichigo was silent for a good long while as he went over everything that G.G. had told him and what he had seen. On the one hand, he could reject G.G.'s offer and risk getting killed by that ballerina reject, Dordonii and on the other hand, he could accept and hope that whatever power he's given could help turn the tide without him resorting to his bankai. If it did, he would be lucky, but if it didn't, he would be dead for sure. Thinking it over, along with everything else he had been told, he smirked.
"I'll live a different life huh?" he said with a somewhat sinister chuckle, "I already started living a different life the moment Rukia was forced to give me her powers and my training to awaken my own Soul Reaper powers after Rukia was arrested and taken to be executed and as for Aizen… well, I was already planning on doing that anyway, so with that in mind, all I have to say is that you've got yourself a deal."
He then felt like he was moving backwards and saw dark red streaks fall like lightning bolts against a white background before coming back to reality. The first thing he noticed was that he was holding G.G.'s hand. G.G. herself was lying on the floor, unmoving and apparently dead in a pool of blood from the hole in her stomach as she lay on her front. Ichigo guessed that whatever it was she had done, she had used the last of her strength to do it and give him the power of Geass, a power that he knew she was wanting him to use to aid him in bringing down Aizen.
"G.G., I swear to you that your sacrifice won't be in vain," he said in a serious yet sad tone, giving G.G.'s body a sympathetic look, "I swear that I'll use this power you gave me to stop Aizen's ambitions, as per your wish."
He then placed his hand over his right eye and turned to face Dordonii, who was looking on with a confused look on his face at what had been going on up until now, but his expression turned to a smirk upon realising that Ichigo was now facing him.
"I take it that your vacation in Lala Land is now over, right niño?" he said in a rather arrogant tone, to which Ichigo said nothing.
"Good, because I was beginning to get worried that that niña there had put you into a coma," he went on, not affected by Ichigo's silence in the slightest.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Dordonii, I think your name was," Ichigo spoke up in a serious "I'm no longer messing around" tone, "Thanks to G.G., I believe that I have a power that will enable me to defeat you without resorting to my bankai."
"Ha," Dordonii laughed, looking at Ichigo as if he were insane, "That's a rather great joke niño. You should be a comedian. Beat me without showing your bankai, that's a laugh."
Ichigo smirked and let out a short laugh.
"You think so, huh?" he said, somewhat tauntingly with a boastfully smirk, "Well then, come here and prove me wrong."
"Gladly niño," Dordonii said as he lunged towards Ichigo ready to attack with his tornado snake birds.
"To be honest, he might be right," Ichigo thought to himself, "If what G.G. said about this Geass power is true, then it may have all been for nothing. Oh well, no use whining about it now, I guess I've just got to hope that that I got the lucky roll of the dice."
He moved his hand away from his eye and the Geass mark appeared within it, with the two top line performing a flapping motion like the wings of a bird and Ichigo got ready to counterattack.
Author's Notes – Gee, my very first cliffhanger (at least as far as I'm aware). Once again, I didn't manage to get everything I wanted into the chapter. Next time will be Ichigo VS Dordonii with Ichigo utilising the power of his Geass. Just what will its power be? You'll find out next time. Anyway, I decided to skip ahead from where I left off last time because I felt that it would be too long going through everything. Just look at how long writing a minute's worth of anime scene is. Can anyone guess who G.G.'s family are yet? I gave away a clue in Ichigo's image of that shrouded man and as you already know, G.G. isn't dead. I apologise if Ichigo's Geass induction scene was almost identical to the one between Lelouch and C.C., but none of the other Geass users' inductions shown, I had nothing to go on. Also what do you think of the Aizen flashback scene that Ichigo saw?
