I am just brewing with ideas! I'm excited too! And let me know if I'm going too far into the back story. But the back story is helping fill the huge 12 month wait for Toshiro's big moment. Apparently, Aizen is out to kill Gin. The Espadas have come up with a plan to capture Gin and convince him to help them overthrow Aizen and stay in Hueco Mundo as their new leader. So yeah, it's definitely nearing the end which I am SUPER DUPER sad about. I don't wanna stop writing this! It's too fun! But that is what sequels are for!!
Gin: Cookie doesn't own Bleach or its characters.
Me: I know you all are tired of hearing it, but if I don't, I run the risk of copyright infringement and getting arrested. Then who will write my story?
Baby Strawberry Snowflakes
The plan
Neliel's POV
We all gathered in a private Espada meeting. No Aizen-sama, no Tosen-sama, just us Espadas which consisted of: Starrk, Barragan, Harribel, Ulquiorra, Myself, Grimmjow, Nnoitra, Szayel, Zomarri, and Yammy. Not even our fraccion were aware of it. It was I who started the meeting.
"Okay, now we all know our main goal, correct?" I said.
Heads nodded around the small room, "To overthrow Aizen-sama with the help of Ichimaru-sama. While some of us didn't like him, we have to admit that he really isn't all that bad."
"But what was the problem of him leaving us in the first place?" Grimmjow asked.
I hesitated, trying to remember, "Something along the lines of needing to go back home to his lover. And also I heard they recently had a child."
Szayel stood up, "That's all fine and dandy, but how are we supposed to get him here? It's not like we can just waltz in the Soul Society without drawing massive attention."
"Good point." I remarked, "I'll probably hafta take him by force. But he may come willingly if it's me who comes. I did help him escape after all."
Murmurs of agreement were heard.
"Alright, now here's the plan…" I began.
The next day
Gin's POV
I just got back from the 4th division. The fall I had did nothing more than swell the back of my head leaving a very noticeable knot. I looked at my head wrap in the mirror. Charming. I was about to lay down to rest when I saw a familiar figure in the window.
"Mah mah, who do we have here?" I said looking at my guest, "Neliel was it?"
Neliel stepped into my room, "Hello Ichimaru-sama. I have come to get you."
I scoffed, "Aizen didn't send Tosen this time? Che, that's a s'prise."
"No." She retorted, "I'm not here under orders of Aizen-sama. I'm here because the Espadas need your help."
"Help wit' what?" I asked peculiarly.
The busty beauty smiled, "If we go, you'll find out."
I chuckled, "You make quite a bargain, miss. A'ight, what've I got to lose?"
In Hueco Mundo
Neliel's POV
I led Ichimaru-sama into the small meeting room, "Just sit down here." I motioned toward a chair.
He sat down and I quickly tied him up. He looked at me with blood red eyes, "Why'm I tied up?"
I giggled, "Sorry. We hafta take necessary precautions."
I motioned for all the other Espadas to come in. We all lined up in front of him.
He looked at all of us, "What do ya want me here for?"
I nodded to Grimmjow and he stepped forward, "There's a choice that you hafta make."
"And it's pretty plain to see." I added.
"You're either out or in." Szayel spoke.
"You either lose or win." Nnoitra said.
We all gathered around him, "Are you gonna turn your back on us again?"
I lifted his chin, "On the legend that you're a part of?"
Grimmjow forcefully turned Ichimaru-sama's head toward him, "On the job that you were born to do?"
"Don't let us down!" We sang, "You gotta come through! Cuz we're counting on, counting on, counting on you!"
"What legend?" Our silver-haired captive asked us.
"Kisuke Urahara."
"Shinji Hirako."
"Yoruichi Shihouin."
"Do you think these prodigies ever gave up on their subordinates for their love life?" I questioned him.
"Well I…" Ichimaru-sama began
"I don't think so!" We all yelled, "Check out the champions who came before! Hail the hero that you could be!"
I untied him and yanked him up, "And put away that dream, no matter how good it seems!"
"And the sacrifice is worth it, we all agree!" The rest joined in.
Grimmjow grabbed his arm, "You just hafta keep your focus."
I grabbed the other, "And forget about you-know-who!"
We threw him back into the chair, "Don't let us down! You gotta come through! Cuz we're counting on, counting on, counting on you!"
Then we all walked around him, "You're next in the line. You're part of the chain. And now that we can make it, don't break it!"
I stopped in front of him, "You're the heir apparent."
"That's what everyone says." Grimmjow added.
"Now the pressure is way up high." Everyone joined, "Which way are you gonna go? You gonna be a mom or are you gonna be strong? Trade your fantasies in for the thing you know! The destiny you've been handed. The only thing that you can do."
We gathered around him, "Don't let us down! You gotta come through! Cuz we're counting on you."
He watched us as we started circling him again, "I thought you were my allies, win together lose together?"
"Yeah we're counting on you."
"What am I supposed to do?"
All of us bowed in front of him, "So don't let us down!"
"How about what matters for me?"
"You gotta come through!"
"What do you want from me?!"
"We're counting on, counting on, counting on, counting on-"
"STOP!" Ichimaru-sama yelled, "I'll help y'all, on one condition. I can bring my family up here. They mean the world to me."
I stood up, "You may go back to the Soul Society, tell your friends and family what's going on, and then come back here. If we succeed, you can bring your family to live with you here. Because if you bring them here and hide them, we can't stop Aizen from finding them and having them killed."
He nodded, "Alright. I understand. So what you want is for me to help you overthrow Aizen and I become your leader?"
"Exactly." Grimmjow replied.
"But I thought all o' ya hated me." Ichimaru-sama pointed out.
"We thought we did." Szayel answered, "But you seem to care about us a hell of a whole lot more than Aizen does."
Ichimaru-sama smiled, "Yes I do. I love y'all a lot. But don't take it too personally, a'ight?"
I laughed, "It's good to have you back, Ichimaru-sama."
Awww. That was nice wasn't it? It's good that the Espadas have realized that following Aizen will get them nowhere but hell. Well…I think they're already there. What they have against Izuru and Blayne though I have no idea. Maybe because they took him away from them or something? I don't know. For anyone who was a bit confused about the mysterious disappearance of the other Chapter 21, it was something that was supposed to be submitted to another story, but I accidentally put it in here. Woops, so sorry for the mix up.
Izuru: Did you get into Willy Wonka?
Me: Huh? Oh, yeah I made the tech crew. I'm not in the cast sadly. I'm only a followspot.
Toshiro: I'm sorry.
Me: It's okay. That means more time to write this story! You know what's funny?
Gin: What?
Me: Someone actually told me that I should publish this as a book!
Toshiro: Really?
Me: Yeah! Crazy huh?
Gin: Wow, interestin' how things turn out.
Me: Yep. I'm so excited cuz I'm finally out of school for the rest of the year!!!
Toshiro: REVIEW SO THAT THE ESPADAS WILL KICK AIZEN'S ASS!!!!!
